Abstract
Borderline Personality Disorder (BPD) is a severe psychological disorder associated with social, occupational, and educational impairment (American Psychiatric Association [APA], 2013; Bender, 2011; Ritschel & Kilpela, 2015; Zanarini, Frankenburg, Reich, Conkey, & Fitzmaurice, 2014), heavy healthy service utilization (Kroll, Sines, & Martin, 1981; Widiger & Frances, 1989), and suicidal behaviors (Oldham, 2006; Ritschel & Kilpela, 2015). Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) has demonstrated efficacy for treating BPD in multiple randomized controlled trials (RCTs; Kliem, Kroger, & Kosfelder, 2010; Panos, Jackson, Hasan, & Panos, 2014) and was designed to address skills deficits in cognitive, behavioral, and emotion regulation (Linehan, 1993). Multiple studies have found that DBT skills use is a significant mediator of DBT treatment outcomes, including a decrease in: BPD symptoms (Stepp, Epler, Jahng, & Trull, 2008), suicide attempts and non-suicidal self-injury episodes (Neacsiu, Rizvi, & Linehan, 2010), and dropouts (Barnicot, Gonzalez, McCabe, & Priebe, 2016). However, there is a dearth of research examining baseline client characteristics that could predict subsequent DBT skills use. The current study explored the relationship between baseline predictors' treatment expectancy, social anxiety disorder diagnosis, baseline symptom severity, skills module order, baseline employment status' and change in DBT skills use between the beginning and end of treatment. Data was collected at baseline and post-treatment from 76 adult clients with BPD who participated in a 6-month comprehensive DBT program. Results indicated that higher baseline levels of emotion dysregulation predicted a greater magnitude of change in DBT skills; no other predictors were significantly related with change in skills use. Results have implications for predicting which clients are more or less likely to use DBT skills, which could allow clinicians to adjust interventions early in treatment to maximize skills learning.
