Seventy-four patients with BPD received TFP in a multi-professional inpatient setting, of whom 27 patients represented the waitlist control group. Thirty-one patients completed six months of treatment. Borderline-specific symptoms were measured by means of the Borderline Symptom List (BSL-23) prior to treatment (waitlist control group), at the beginning, after 3 months, and at the end of it. BSL-23 scores decreased significantly from the beginning to the end of the six-month inpatient therapy program with a medium effect size of d=0.54. There was no change in symptoms for the waitlist control group. Our findings suggest that inpatient TFP is effective in terms of the reduction of borderline-specific symptoms. In terms of this, the duration of the treatment seems to be a meaningful factor. Further research will investigate changes in specific psychodynamic aspects as well as in the follow-up measurement.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.4081\/ripppo.2025.810","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2025,1,28]],"date-time":"2025-01-28T12:55:40Z","timestamp":1738068940000},"source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":4,"title":["Transference-focused psychotherapy in an inpatient setting for borderline personality disorders: changes in symptomatology"],"prefix":"10.4081","volume":"28","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0009-0009-1337-2720","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Torvi","family":"Abel","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0009-0004-2435-7335","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Moritz","family":"Happel","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0009-0004-1531-6910","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Franca","family":"Daerr","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-2711-285X","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Carsten","family":"Spitzer","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-7977-5102","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Cord","family":"Benecke","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Birger","family":"Dulz","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"2549","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2025,1,28]]},"reference":[{"key":"32256","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.4414\/sanp.2013.00182"},{"key":"32257","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1176\/appi.books.9780890425596"},{"key":"32258","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1111\/j.1600-0447.2010.01652.x"},{"key":"32259","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.18637\/jss.v067.i01"},{"key":"32260","unstructured":"Bateman, A.
