Area of Science:

  • Psychiatry and Clinical Psychology
  • Mental Health Interventions

Background:

  • Borderline Personality Disorder (BPD) treatment requires effective, adaptable programs.
  • Systems Training for Emotional Predictability and Problem Solving (STEPPS) is a validated BPD intervention with international research support.
  • STEPPS implementation and outcomes in Norway remained unevaluated.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To evaluate the effectiveness of STEPPS in a Norwegian clinical setting.
  • To assess changes in BPD symptoms, depression, functioning, and quality of life.
  • To determine if treatment gains are maintained post-intervention.

Main Methods:

  • An uncontrolled, naturalistic study design.
  • Inclusion of treatment-seeking patients undergoing the 20-week STEPPS program.
  • Statistical analysis using t-tests and effect sizes for 168 completers.

Main Results:

  • Significant reductions in borderline and depressive symptoms observed.
  • Improvements noted in daily functioning and quality of life.
  • Medium to large effect sizes (d=0.6–1.1) demonstrated, with gains maintained at 6-month follow-up.

Conclusions:

  • STEPPS demonstrated comparable outcomes in Norway to international studies.
  • The findings support the successful implementation of STEPPS in Norwegian clinical practice.
  • STEPPS is a viable and effective treatment option for BPD in Norway.
