Abstract

Behavioural intervention Personality disorder Problemsolving Social problemsolving
The National Institute for Mental Health in England's 2003 paper, Personality Disorder No Longer a Diagnosis of Exclusion, led to a need for effective treatments for people with personality disorders. Problemsolving therapy PST is an appropriate treatment because, rather than trying to change basic personality structure, the aim is to help people with personality disorder to learn new skills to manage their emotional dysregulation and to work within their abilities to cope more effectively with life's problems. This overview describes the underpinning model of social problemsolving and explains how PST aims to assist with problemsolving difficulties.
