Following this, we are advocating for the development of a national treatment strategy for personality disorders in Ireland. As part of this process, we have examined international evidence and best practice guidelines for establishing personality disorder services. Key recommendations from the literature include access to services, continuity of care, a multidisciplinary approach, tiered models of care, collaboration with service users, staff training and supervision, and delivery of evidence-based interventions. These recommendations should form the backbone of a national personality disorder strategy for Ireland.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1017\/ipm.2025.10145","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2025,12,19]],"date-time":"2025-12-19T06:53:57Z","timestamp":1766127237000},"page":"163-166","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":0,"title":["Developing a national treatment strategy for personality disorder in Ireland"],"prefix":"10.1017","volume":"43","author":[{"given":"P.","family":"Connolly","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"id":[{"id":"https:\/\/ror.org\/02tyrky19","id-type":"ROR","asserted-by":"publisher"}],"name":"Psychiatry of later life Department"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"N.","family":"Ibrahim","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Drumalee Primary Care Centre"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"P.","family":"Matthews","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Mater Misericordiae University Hospital"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"A.","family":"Lee","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Naas General Hospital"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"S.","family":"McManus","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"St Patricks University Hospital"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"G.","family":"Rush","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"St Patricks University Hospital"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"56","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2025,12,19]]},"reference":[{"key":"S0790966725101456_ref13","volume-title":"Personality Disorder Service Rapid Review","author":"McCartan","year":"2020"},{"key":"S0790966725101456_ref24","unstructured":"Western Australian Association for Mental Health (WAAMH) (2020).
