<mods:abstract>Introduction: Short-term partial hospitalization has not yet been assessed in the
literature as treatment for acute symptoms of Borderline Personality Disorder (BPD). The aim
of the current study is to assess the effectiveness of the Rhode Island Hospital adult
partial program in reducing pathology associated with BPD, and furthermore to determine
demographic and diagnostic correlates of treatment success. Methods: 88 patients diagnosed
with BPD completed daily self-report questionnaires assessing present symptoms.
Intake-to-discharge score differences were determined and analyzed across demographic
characteristics and comorbid diagnoses. Results: The two factors that consistently predicted
treatment outcomes in a regression model were education and the number of days no-showed.
Those with higher education tended exhibit greater improvement, and those who no-showed more
often tended to show less improvement despite the fact the number of cancellations had no
effect on treatment outcomes. Discussion: The RIH adult partial program is very effective at
reducing acute symptoms associated with BPD. The data suggests that no-shows are strongly
related with a reduction in treatment effectiveness, to the extent that personal factors
predict both inclination to no-show and less adherence to treatment. Higher education may
improve outcomes in an ACT-based program because of its association with greater insight,
which helps patients to internalize cognitively-oriented psychotherapy. Patients with less
education and lower insight may fare better in a program that uses more
behaviorally-oriented therapy.</mods:abstract>
