TY - JOUR PY - 2007// TI - Dialectal behaviour treatment: Implementation and outcomes JO - Psychiatric bulletin A1 - Zinkler, M. A1 - Gaglia, A. A1 - Arokiadass, S.M.R. A1 - Farhy, E. SP - 249 EP - 252 VL - 31 IS - 7 N2 - Aims and method: Dialectical behaviour therapy is an evidence-based treatment for people with borderline personality disorder. We describe implementation and outcomes of a new service.

RESULTS: Hospital use and frequency of selfharm were reduced dramatically with dialectical behaviour therapy. Moreover, the therapy can be implemented successfully in a relatively short time at modest costs. Clinical implications: Dialectical behaviour therapy provides a useful model of treatment for people with borderline personality disorder and/ or selfharm in community mental health settings.
