Benchmarking and Change Mechanisms in Personality Disorder Treatment

The KLIPP treatment unit (UPC KU Leuven, campus Kortenberg) provides intensive psychodynamic treatment (PDT) for patients with different types of PDs. There are three different programs that differ in treatment intensity: (1) inpatient treatment program (5 days a week), (2) day treatment program (4 days a week), and (3) a part-time outpatient treatment program of two half days per week. Patients attend one of these programs and stay in the program for at least 6 months (with an average duration of 8 months). The programs include individual and group psychodynamic psychotherapy as well as art, music and psychomotor therapy.
