The effect on interpersonal functioning was also present in individuals using the digital intervention.

I am grateful for the opportunity to contribute to this study and congratulations to Johanne who has just successfully completed her PhD with this project and started a postdoc position at Aalborg University!

They found that psychotherapy for BPD did improve interpersonal functioning, maybe particularly strongly in individuals also suffering from anxiety disorders or an overall greater number of co-occuring disorders.

Philipp Klein @jpkhl.bsky.social · 09/02/2026

The psychotherapies employed included Mentalization-Based Therapy (MBT) and Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT) but also a digital intervention based on Schema Therapy, priovi.

Therefore, Johanne Pereira Ribeiro from Denmark and colleagues conducted an individual patient data meta-analysis (IPD-MA) including more than 2700 participants from 32 RCTs were psychotherapy was compared to treatment as usual (TAU) or clinical management (CM).

It is unclear if psychotherapy for BPD also has an effect on interpersonal functioning and whether this effect is stronger in certain individuals.

Philipp Klein @jpkhl.bsky.social · 09/02/2026

Psychotherapy for Borderline Personality Disorder (BPD) does have an effect on overall symptoms of BPD. But individuals with BPD often suffer from interpersonal difficulties and these can severely affect daily functioning.

This trial published today in found that individuals who use the DMHI mylovia reported greater improvements in sexual functioning than those who received treatment as usual (which, for many, meant no treatment at all) with a medium effect size (d = 0.51).

Philipp Klein @jpkhl.bsky.social · 03/02/2026

Overall, this „treatment gap“ is more than 50%, but it is especially pronounced for female sexual dysfunction, possibly because patients (and sometimes also their therapists) can be reluctant to talk about sexual health.

One of the main advantages of Digital Mental Health Interventions (DMHIs) is their ability to reach individuals who would otherwise never receive treatment.

Perfect, thanks Tim! I came across that paper but then lost it. Glad you helped me find it again!

Psychotherapy for individuals with Borderline Personality Disorder is effective, maybe more so when certain comorbidities are present. That is the result of a large individual participant data meta-analysis (IPD MA) just published by Johanne Pereira Ribeiro Psychotherapy and Psychosomatics.

Oder in Alltagssprache gesprochen: wenn diese widrigen Kindheitserfahrungen sehr im Mittelpunkt des Erlebens stehen, dann sind möglicherweise auch psychische Probleme stärker ausgeprägt.

Philipp Klein @jpkhl.bsky.social · 14/11/2025

Zusammen mit ausgeprägten Schwierigkeiten, belastende Gedanken und Gefühle loszuwerden, hängt diese Art des Selbstbildes mit der Schwere einer Reihe von psychischen Problemen zusammen, unter anderem mit Depressivität und Ängstlichkeit.

100

Philipp Klein @jpkhl.bsky.social · 14/11/2025

Das Ergebnis: Veränderungen des Selbstbild („Ich sollte nicht so fühlen und denken, wie ich das tue“) hängen besonders stark mit widrigen Kindheitserfahrungen wie emotionalen Missbrauch zusammen (als beispielsweise der Erfahrung, als dumm, faul oder hässlich bezeichnet zu werden).

Philipp Klein @jpkhl.bsky.social · 14/11/2025

Genau das hat Sophia Singer im Rahmen ihrer Masterarbeit gemacht.

100

Philipp Klein @jpkhl.bsky.social · 14/11/2025

Eine Möglichkeit, der Antwort näher zu kommen ist, die Kindheitserfahrungen, die Schwere der Symptome und mögliche Prozesse, die zwischen beidem vermitteln, als Netzwerk zu betrachten. Dann bekommt man rasch einen Überblick, wie diese Dinge zusammenhängen könnten.

Philipp Klein @jpkhl.bsky.social · 14/11/2025

Wie kommt es, dass Menschen, die widrige Kindheitserfahrungen erlebt haben, auch stärker unter psychischen Erkrankungen leiden?

A number of studies have compared digital interventions to CBT. Both are about equally effective, meta-analyses suggest. But obviously, we also have to consider preferences: digital interventions are less effective in individuals who prefer f2f-therapy. References: bit.ly/DiGA_2024

This strengthens the recommendation for using unguided digital interventions in the treatment of depression.

Philipp Klein @jpkhl.bsky.social · 13/10/2025

A recent meta-analysis by Felix Butt from Stephan Köhler`s research group at Charité, Berlin, suggests that unguided digital interventions have effects both quality of life might and on depression (g = 0.29 / 0.37).

Philipp Klein @jpkhl.bsky.social · 13/10/2025

Many researchers as well as clinicians and their patients would argue that an evidence-based intervention should show effects both on symptoms and on functional outcomes to receive a strong recommendation for use.

Philipp Klein @jpkhl.bsky.social · 13/10/2025

It is well-established that unguided digital interventions are effective in reducing symptoms of depression. But what about the effect on quality of life?

She highlights that the advantages of the BPD-CL include the fact that it measures all symptom domains considered necessary for the diagnosis of BPD in the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of the American Psychiatric Association (DSM).

That is the result of a study just published by Lynn Mayer in the International Journal of Methods in Psychiatric Research.
