Many studies report that comorbid borderline personality pathology is associated with poorer outcomes in the treatment of Axis I disorders. Given the high rates of comorbidity between borderline personality pathology and posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD), it is essential to determine whether borderline symptomatology affects PTSD treatment outcome. This study examined the effects of borderline personality characteristics (BPC) on 131 female rape victims receiving cognitive-behavioral treatment for PTSD. Higher BPC scores were associated with greater pretreatment PTSD severity; however, individuals with higher levels of BPC were just as likely to complete treatment and also as likely to show significant treatment response on several outcome measures. There were no significant interactions between type of treatment and BPC on the outcome variables. Findings suggest that women with borderline pathology may be able to benefit significantly from cognitive-behavioral treatment for PTSD.
许多研究报告称,共病的边缘型人格病理与轴I障碍治疗效果较差有关。鉴于边缘型人格病理与创伤后应激障碍(PTSD)之间的共病率很高,确定边缘型症状是否会影响PTSD治疗结果至关重要。本研究考察了边缘型人格特征(BPC)对131名接受PTSD认知行为治疗的女性强奸受害者的影响。较高的BPC分数与治疗前较高的PTSD严重程度相关;然而,BPC水平较高的个体完成治疗的可能性相同,并且在多项结果指标上显示出显著治疗反应的可能性也相同。在结果变量上,治疗类型与BPC之间没有显著交互作用。研究结果表明,患有边缘型病理的女性可能能够从PTSD的认知行为治疗中显著获益。
