Alekhin Аnatoliy Nikolaevich, Isagulova Elena Yurievna

The article highlights the current state of the problem of the effectiveness of different types of psychotherapy in working with borderline personality disorder, based on the results of contemporary research examining the psychocorrective effects of mentalization-based, transference-oriented, schema-oriented, dialectical behavioral therapy, and acceptance and commitment therapy on reducing the severity of symptom severity of borderline personality disorder. It is found that comprehensive, long-term psychotherapy may be a useful form of treatment for people with borderline personality disorder. Each of the psychotherapy methods analyzed significantly reduces the severity of borderline psychopathology, but the predominance of the effectiveness of one over the others has not been proven. The main conclusion may be that any recommended psychotherapeutic treatment provided in an individualized manner may be beneficial. Comprehensive, long-term psychotherapy is probably the most useful form of treatment for people with PPL. However, less intensive and less costly complementary forms of treatment need to be developed. To increase the strength of the evidence, future research in this area should focus on standardizing treatment components and protocols, improving intervention fidelity, and selecting common outcome measures to measure the severity of PDP and related symptoms.
