Abstract:
This brief overview of outcome research on psychosocial treatment of personality disorders first examines difficulties in using existing classifications of abnormal personality. A summary is offered of uncontrolled investigations of the treatment of personality disorders, a few controlled studies, and literature on the impact of comorbid personality disorder on treatment of Axis I symptomatology. The conclusions take into account the particular challenges of these disorders in the current health care context.
