Systems Training for Emotional Predictability and Problem Solving (STEPPS) is a new cognitive group treatment for outpatients with borderline personality disorder.
The English and Dutch language literature was reviewed on the STEPPS program.
STEPPS was introduced in The Netherlands in 1998 under the acronym VERS. Reasons for its rapid dissemination throughout Holland include a user-friendly manual, its 20-week duration, ability to maintain the patient's current treatment team, and ease of therapist training. Two pilot studies, one in the US and one in The Netherlands, suggest its efficacy. Randomized controlled trials are now underway.
STEPPS has become widespread in The Netherlands, and is now being modified for other settings, such as programs for adolescents.
情绪可预测性与问题解决系统训练（STEPPS）是一种针对边缘型人格障碍门诊患者的新型认知团体治疗方法。
对有关STEPPS项目的英文和荷兰语文献进行了综述。
STEPPS于1998年在荷兰以VERS的首字母缩写形式引入。它在荷兰迅速传播的原因包括手册便于使用、为期20周、能够保留患者当前的治疗团队以及治疗师培训简便。两项试点研究，一项在美国，一项在荷兰，表明了其有效性。随机对照试验正在进行中。
STEPPS在荷兰已广泛应用，目前正在针对其他环境进行调整，如青少年项目。
