ABSTRACT
OBJECTIVE:
This study employs a person-centered transdiagnostic approach to examine how schema and mode profiles predict symptom severity reduction in schema group therapy for patients with personality disorders and enduring clinical syndromes.METHOD:
We analyzed symptom reduction in 248 patients across three formats of manualized, time-limited schema group therapy. Latent profile analysis and mixed multilevel modeling were used to determine the extent to which schema/mode classes predict symptom reduction, and whether the inclusion of individual schemas and modes enhances these predictions.RESULTS:
No significant differences in treatment outcomes were found across the group modalities. A three latent profile solution for schemas and modes showed external validity with clinical variables and demonstrated that declines in symptom severity varied by schema and mode class, even after adjusting for baseline symptom severity. Adding the Vulnerability to Harm schema and Vulnerable Child mode to the model increased the explained variance.CONCLUSION:
Patients with more severe personality problems show more substantial symptom reduction. Both schema and mode profiles significantly contribute to predicting post-treatment symptom levels. Understanding these profiles may help therapists tailor interventions more effectively, consistent with Young's theoretical model.Trial registration ISRCTN.org identifier ISRCTN17262253.
