Against this background, outpatient psychotherapists were surveyed about the factors playing a decisive role in their treatment offer for patients with BPD.</p><p><strong>Methods: </strong>Psychotherapists for adults were contacted via their email address published on the website of the Kassenärztliche Vereinigung (Association of Statutory Health Insurance Physicians), 231 of whom answered an online questionnaire. The results were analysed descriptively and examined inferentially with regard to the psychotherapists' admission behaviour.</p><p><strong>Results: </strong>Almost 90% reported that they would generally accept patients with BPD in therapy. However, of those, 85% did not have a therapy slot available. The psychotherapists' learned approach of treatment was not a decisive factor in determining whether they were willing to provide treatment. Most of the psychotherapists (85%) recommended a BPD disorder-specific therapy such as Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), Mentalization-Based Treatment (MBT), Transference-Focused Psychotherapy (TFP) or Schema Therapy (ST). However, only just under 7% were certified in such a disorder-specific approach. Significant individual stress factors described by the psychotherapists were suicidal risk (70%) and potential other-directed aggression (59%). In addition, it was shown that it played a role whether the psychotherapists were trained in an additional therapy approach (with at least 16 teaching units) or not.</p><p><strong>Conclusion: </strong>The care situation for people with BPD seeking an outpatient psychotherapy place is clearly in need of improvement. This is mainly due to a general lack of available therapy places as well as various fears and anxieties, such as increased suicidality, which in turn can have a negative impact on the provision of outpatient therapy. Psychotherapists who have undergone disorder-specific further training feel less burdened by suicidal behaviour. However, since only a small number of them are able to offer BPD-specific therapies, it is essential to expand and (financially) support specific training programmes. In order to meet the demand for care, professional changes are urgently needed.</p>","PeriodicalId":47315,"journal":{"name":"Psychotherapie Psychosomatik Medizinische Psychologie","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.9,"publicationDate":"2024-02-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"139693204","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"心理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
