Abstract
Clinicians generally find individuals with personality disorders to be challenging
to treat, especially compared to clients who have only a straightforward depression
or anxiety disorder. In this article we will summarise research on the efficacy of
cognitive behaviour therapy (CBT) for personality disorders. Then we will focus on
the conceptualisation and treatment of CBT for personality disorders that is based
on the work of Aaron Beck and colleagues; that is, it is predicated upon the cognitive
model of psychopathology. Next, we will describe two other forms of treatment with
cognitive behavioural roots: schema therapy and dialectical behaviour therapy. A
final section will suggest future directions
