MBT, Borderline Personality Disorder, Significant Others, Families, Qualitative InterviewsAbstract
This study aimed to explore how significant others of persons diagnosed with borderline personality disorder experienced participating in a four-session mentalisation-based (MBT) group programme for patients with borderline personality disorder and their significant others. Semi-structured qualitative interviews were conducted with four significant others (three parents and one spouse) of persons in psychiatric outpatient MBT-treatment for borderline personality disorder. The interviews were analysed using a meaning-condensing approach. Results showed that the significant others experienced a heightened sense of understanding in relation to the patients and their problems, as well as feeling empowered in terms of getting new ways of dealing with interpersonal problems.
