Understanding these mechanisms is essential for determining the key processes that optimize treatment efficacy. This study investigated mechanisms of change in day treatment group ST (DT\u2010GST) for patients with severe PDs. PD severity was the primary outcome in a multiple\u2010baseline single\u2010case design, assessed before and after DT\u2010GST, alongside idiosyncratic negative core beliefs measured weekly over 30\u2009weeks. Secondary outcomes were early maladaptive schemas (EMS) and schema modes (SMs), measured pre\u2010 and post\u2010treatment. Mechanisms of change were examined through visual inspection, correlations and randomization tests. Changes in PD severity moderately correlated with changes in negative core beliefs (\n                    <jats:italic>r<\/jats:italic>\n                    \u2009=\u20090.57), but not with SMs. Negative core beliefs correlated positively with the Vulnerable Child (\n                    <jats:italic>r<\/jats:italic>\n                    \u2009=\u20090.76), Punitive Parent (\n                    <jats:italic>r<\/jats:italic>\n                    \u2009=\u20090.78), Demanding Parent (\n                    <jats:italic>r<\/jats:italic>\n                    \u2009=\u20090.61) and Detached Self\u2010Soother (\n                    <jats:italic>r<\/jats:italic>\n                    \u2009=\u20090.58) modes and negatively with the Happy Child (\n                    <jats:italic>r<\/jats:italic>\n                    \u2009=\u2009\u22120.77) and Healthy Adult (\n                    <jats:italic>r<\/jats:italic>\n                    \u2009=\u2009\u22120.57) modes. Meaningful change occurred across all treatment phases, with the greatest therapeutic progress in the second and third phases. This study highlights the central role of idiosyncratic negative core beliefs in reducing PD severity while also underscoring the importance of changes in SMs. Findings suggest that ST should prioritize reducing the Vulnerable Child mode and its associated EMS while reinforcing adaptive Healthy Adult and Happy Child modes and diminishing maladaptive Parent and detachment\u2010related coping modes. Further longitudinal research with repeated assessments is needed to clarify mechanisms of change in ST.\n                  <\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1002\/cpp.70289","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2026,5,20]],"date-time":"2026-05-20T13:50:30Z","timestamp":1779285030000},"update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1002\/crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":0,"title":["Mechanisms of Change in Day Treatment Group Schema Therapy for Severe Personality Disorders: A Multiple Baseline Single\u2010Case Study"],"prefix":"10.1002","volume":"33","author":[{"given":"Joska","family":"van Houten","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Trauma Related and Personality Disorders GGZ Oost Brabant  Helmond the Netherlands"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Samantha","family":"Bouwmeester","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Developmental Psychology Tilburg University  Tilburg the Netherlands"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-0746-2692","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Nathan","family":"Bachrach","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Trauma Related and Personality Disorders GGZ Oost Brabant  Helmond the Netherlands"},{"name":"Department of Medical and Clinical Psychology Tilburg University  Tilburg the Netherlands"},{"name":"Department of health care psychology education RINO Zuid  Eindhoven the Netherlands"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"311","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2026,5,20]]},"reference":[{"key":"e_1_2_14_2_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1521\/pedi.2018.32.supp.143"},{"key":"e_1_2_14_3_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1007\/s10608\u2010021\u201010209\u20105"},{"key":"e_1_2_14_4_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1521\/pedi.17.1.45.24053"},{"key":"e_1_2_14_5_1","volume-title":"Schema Therapy for Borderline Personality Disorder","author":"Arntz A.","year":"2009"},{"key":"e_1_2_14_6_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1027\/1015\u20105759\/a000272"},{"key":"e_1_2_14_7_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1002\/cpp.70148"},{"key":"e_1_2_14_8_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.paid.2023.112268"},{"key":"e_1_2_14_9_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1176\/appi.ajp.2013.12040518"},{"key":"e_1_2_14_10_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.4088\/jcp.14m09412"},{"key":"e_1_2_14_11_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1080\/14999013.2007.10471261"},{"key":"e_1_2_14_12_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1371\/journal.pone.0228355"},{"key":"e_1_2_14_13_1","volume-title":"Applied Behavior Analysis","author":"Cooper J.
