Crisis-focused psychosocial interventions for borderline personality disorder: systematic review and narrative synthesis.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Mental health crisis presentations are common in those who have a diagnosis of borderline personality disorder (BPD), and psychosocial interventions should be provided. However, there is limited evidence outlining what a crisis-focused psychosocial intervention for this population should include.

Aims

To conduct a systematic review and narrative synthesis of crisis-focused psychosocial interventions for people diagnosed with BPD.

Method

Three databases (MEDLINE, Embase, PsycInfo) were searched for eligible studies. Studies were included if they were quantitative studies comparing a crisis-focused intervention with any control group and they included adults (18+ years of age) who were diagnosed with BPD (or with equivalent experiences). A narrative synthesis
