For example, their symptoms and psychosocial functioning remain impaired even after treatment (Chakhssi et al., <span>2021</span>; Keuroghlian et al., <span>2013</span>; Smits et al., <span>2020</span>), and act as a risk factor for relapse, occurrence or recurrence of symptoms and interpersonal problems. Moreover, state of the art results say that both cognitive and psychodynamic therapies for PD are effective to a similar degree, even if they approach the problems from different angles. Treatments of psychodynamic orientation are mostly focused on changing patterns via conversation only, e.g., Mentalization Based Therapy (Bateman & Fonagy, <span>2004</span>) and Transference Focused Therapy (Yeomans et al., <span>2015</span>), though they ask patients to try with and adopt healthy behaviors in between sessions.</p><p>Other therapies, mostly from the third wave orientation, such as Dialectical Behavior Therapy (Linehan, <span>1993</span>), Schema Therapy (Young, <span>1994</span>) and Metacognitive Interpersonal Therapy (Dimaggio et al., <span>2020</span>) add an experiential component, which includes mindfulness, skills training and behavioral emotion-regulation strategies, guided imagery and rescripting, role-play and chair work.</p><p>As described, PDs feature dysfunctions in multiple domains, e.g., identity problems, problems at work and in romantic relationships, risky behaviors and so on (American Psychiatric Association, <span>2013</span>). Moreover, core pathology includes multiple elements, such as poor awareness of mental states, poor capacity to regulate emotions, problematic ideas about self and others and resort to maladaptive strategies to cope with psychological pain. Finally, PDs are comorbid with heightened levels of symptom disorders and behavioral problems (e.g., alcohol and substance abuse). We are then facing a complex form of psychopathology for which psychotherapy is only partially effective. It seems therefore necessary to adopt a wide array of strategies to tackle the different problems they present.

Thus, maintaining patient engagement in treatment and reducing the rates of those leaving against medical advice (AMA) is particularly important. Examining the factors and comorbidities that may contribute to treatment dropout has the potential to identify at-risk patients in need of additional individualized intervention. The current study aimed to examine comorbid anxiety, depression, and posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) symptoms as predictors of dropout AMA in a residential substance use treatment population. Results showed that patients with social anxiety were more likely to leave treatment AMA, while those with PTSD were more likely to complete treatment. Findings suggest that PTSD-specific treatment, as offered in this facility, may help with patient retention, while group focused therapy may be distressing to those with social anxiety.

Hilda, 68 years of age, had been diagnosed with an unspecified personality disorder and various traits of borderline personality disorder. She experienced emotional exhaustion following long-term mental health problems rooted in a traumatic early childhood. This affected her ability to manage her emotions and social relations, resulting in the sense that her life had no meaning. Hilda was invited to reconstruct her life experiences, divided into the past, turning point, and present/future, in a written and a painted life story. This allowed for the integration of traumatic as well as positive memories, enhanced self-compassion, and meaning making.
