Abstract
ABSTRACT Personality disorders are among the most difficult of mental disorders for which to provide effective interventions. Using a group work model that emphasizes skill-building, problem-solving and community integration can enable clients with personality disorders to function more adaptively in the community. A group work program that is provided by a staff team also reduces problematic interpersonal dynamics in the provider-client relationship. This article describes a model program that integrates therapy, educational and socialization groups and is consistent with established social group work models and practices. This group work approach also fits well to a managed care environment, as it is cost-effective and maximizes the number of clients served with limited staff.
