Thirty-two patients with personality disorder diagnoses were randomly assigned to two treatment conditions that vary on several techniques of brief dynamic psychotherapy. Seventeen patients constituted a waiting list control group. The two brief psychotherapies showed significant improvement on target complaints, SCL-90, and Social Adjustment Scale-SR compared with the control subjects. The two therapy groups were similar in overall outcome but showed interesting differences on several subscale measures. Process measurements of videotaped sessions revealed significant variations in frequencies of therapist interventions across the two treatment conditions, which validated planned differences in the treatment techniques.
