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.
