Severity of borderline pathology, self-harm and suicide, and mental health status was chosen a priori as the three primary outcomes. Results / Discussion The evidence for beneficial and harmful effects of long-term psychological treatments for borderline personality on the chosen outcomes will be presented and together with data on subgroup analyses (e.g. based on gender, age, co-morbidity and so forth). Conclusion The clinical implications of this systematic review of the evidence-base for psychotherapeutic treatment of borderline personality disorder will be discussed.
