Crisis intervention for personality disorders should restore pre-crisis maladaptive functioning. Standard interventions aim for pre-crisis normal functioning, but this modified approach better suits personality disorder patients.

Area of Science:

  • Psychiatry
  • Clinical Psychology

Background:

  • Standard crisis intervention aims to restore pre-crisis normal functioning for individuals with neurotic or normal personality structures.
  • This approach typically involves brief therapeutic encounters.

Observation:

  • Individuals with personality disorders may have pre-crisis functioning that is inherently maladaptive.
  • A case study of 'Eve' with a dependent personality disorder illustrates this challenge.

Findings:

  • The proposed modified crisis intervention for personality disorders focuses on returning patients to their pre-crisis level of functioning, even if maladaptive.
  • This tailored approach requires more time and resources, utilizing pharmacotherapy and intensive supportive psychotherapy.

Implications:
