Long-term hospital treatment of borderline patients: a descriptive outcome study

L Tucker, SF Bauer, S Wagner, D Harlam and I Sher
Department of Psychiatry, Cornell University Medical College, New York Hospital-Cornell Medical Center, White Plains.

The authors report a prospective 2-year outcome study of 40 inpatients with severe personality disorders who were treated on a specialized long-term unit for patients with "borderline conditions." Treatment goals included improving interpersonal relationships and facilitating a lasting discharge from the hospital. Data were collected at admission, discharge, and 1 and 2 years after discharge. The data reflect change from admission to follow-up in impulsivity, psychotherapy, and social adjustment. Mediating effects of length of stay on outcome are discussed.
