DPSPs’ Internationale Seminar 2026 v/ Prof. MD Martin Bohus

Borderline Personality disorder is a trauma related disorder. The database is robust: No other personality disorder reports as clearly severe traumatic experiences in childhood and adolescence as BPD: Around 40% report long-term sexual and physical abuse, and around 80% report emotional neglect or emotional abuse. This has important implications for treatment development: In recent years, specific treatment programs for BPD patients with co-occurring PTSD after childhood abuse have been developed and evaluated. The effect sizes of d= 1.5 are significantly higher than those of conventional treatment programs. New developments in DBT now focus on the revision of traumatic invalidation networks. This approach is also currently being evaluated.

The presentation will provide an overview of the latest developments in the trauma-focused treatment of BPD, with an emphasis on DBT, and give an outlook on a fundamental change and reorientation of the diagnostic classification of this disorder.
