Change Factors in a day-treatment Program for Personality Disorders
Abstract
Day treatment for personality disorders has grown in popularity over the last decade
due to efforts developing more cost-effective treatments. The results, so far, have
been favorable to day programs, although without total understanding about the
factors that contribute to change. In order to understand the form in which these
processes act upon therapeutic change, this work analyzes the subjective vision of
the therapists on the particular contribution and assembly of the diverse activities
that conform one of these programs. Using qualitative methodology, results
underscore reflect capacity and emotion recognition as two essential skills which
would contribute to patient change. We discuss these results and their implications
for the technique used in these programs.
