Title: BOSCOT: A Randomised Control Trial of Cognitive Behavioural Therapy Plus Treatment as Usual Versus Treatment as Usual in the Treatment of Borderline Personality Disorder
Brief Summary: The aim of the study was to investigate if the addition of cognitive behavioural therapy to treatment as usual (CBT plus TAU) in participants with borderline personality disorder would decrease the number of participants with emergency (i.e. unplanned) psychiatric or accident and emergency room contact or episode of deliberate self-harm over twelve months treatment and twelve months follow-up, compared with treatment as usual (TAU). The study also examined whether CBT plus TAU would lead to superior improvement in quality of life, social, cognitive and mental health functioning than TAU alone.
