Personality Disorders (PDs) can reasonably hope to gain benefit from psychotherapy. Nevertheless many patients do not fully respond. Research therefore has to be done into which variables need to be targeted in psychotherapy, in order to tailor treatment to the needs of the majority of PD patients. These have to date been understudied, in particular where patients have PD other than borderline and where they obtain no or limited benefits from available treatments. Many elements of the therapy process, such as therapy alliance, can be investigated. We outline here some personality pathology core issues and then describe how the authors involved in this special issue investigated the roles of symptoms, emotional experience and regulation, interpersonal patterns and mentalizing in PD psychotherapy.
人格障碍（PD）患者可以合理地期望从心理治疗中获益。然而，许多患者并未完全响应。因此，必须研究需要在心理治疗中针对哪些变量进行治疗，以便根据大多数 PD 患者的需求定制治疗方案。迄今为止，这些研究还不够充分，特别是在患者患有边缘型以外的其他 PD 类型且他们从现有治疗中无法获得或仅获得有限收益的情况下。治疗过程中的许多要素，如治疗联盟，可以进行研究。我们在此概述一些人格病理学核心问题，然后描述本特刊的作者如何研究 PD 心理治疗中的症状、情绪体验和调节、人际模式和心理化作用。
