Short-term psychoanalytic psychotherapy (STPP) was found to be one treatment of choice for adolescents suffering from MDD. Background: The first experimental study of transference work-in teenagers (FEST-IT) demonstrated the efficaciousness of transference work in STPP with adolescents suffering from MDD. The usefulness of STPP may be enhanced by exploring possible moderators. Methods: Depressed adolescents (N = 69), aged 16\u201318 years, were diagnosed with the structured interview for DSM-IV PDs and randomized to 28 weeks of STPP with or without transference work. A mixed linear model was applied. The moderator effect was investigated by a three-way interaction including \u201ctime\u201d, \u201ctreatment group\u201d and \u201cnumber of PD criteria\u201d. Results: A small but significant moderator effect was found for cluster B personality pathology. Patients with a higher number of cluster B PD criteria at baseline did better up to one-year post-treatment where therapists encouraged patients to explore the patient\u2013therapist relationship in the here and now. Conclusion: When treated with psychoanalytic psychotherapy for MDD, adolescents with cluster B PD symptoms seem to profit more from transference work than adolescents without such pathology.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/ijerph191710952","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2022,9,6]],"date-time":"2022-09-06T05:17:23Z","timestamp":1662441443000},"page":"10952","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":6,"title":["Personality Disorders as a Possible Moderator of the Effects of Relational Interventions in Short-Term Psychoanalytic Psychotherapy with Depressed Adolescents"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"19","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-3299-8672","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Hans Ole","family":"Korsgaard","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"The Nic Waal Institute, Lovisenberg Hospital, 0440 Oslo, Norway"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-8872-8706","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Randi","family":"Ulberg","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Institute of Clinical Medicine, University of Oslo, 0316 Oslo, Norway"},{"name":"Department of Psychiatry, Diakonhjemmet Hospital, 0370 Oslo, Norway"},{"name":"Research Unit, Division of Mental Health, Vestfold Hospital Trust, 3116 T\u00f8nsberg, Norway"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-8717-8076","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Benjamin","family":"Hummelen","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Division of Mental Health and Addiction, Oslo University Hospital, 0424 Oslo, Norway"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Nick","family":"Midgley","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Research Department of Clinical, Educational and Health Psychology, University College London (UCL), London WC1E 6BT, UK"},{"name":"Anna Freud National Centre for Children and Families, London N1 9JH, UK"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-0305-7366","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Agneta","family":"Thor\u00e9n","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"The Erica Foundation, 114 24 Stockholm, Sweden"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Hanne-Sofie Johnsen","family":"Dahl","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Research Unit, Division of Mental Health, Vestfold Hospital Trust, 3116 T\u00f8nsberg, Norway"},{"name":"Department of Psychology, University of Oslo, 0316 Oslo, Norway"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2022,9,2]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","unstructured":"Harris, M., and Meltzer, D.
