TREATING AXIS II DISORDERS

In addition to treating Axis I problems such as depression and anxiety, Mind Over Mood can be used to treat Axis II disorders directly. When maladaptive schemas are weakened and alternative, more adaptive schemas are developed personality disorders can be successfully treated. Treatment is successful when a client meeting full diagnostic criteria for a personality disorder no longer meets the diagnostic criteria by the end of treatment. Case studies attest to the potential efficacy of cognitive therapy for personality disorders based on schema change and development of alternative behavioral coping patterns (Beck et al., 1990). Some suggestions follow for using the treatment manual to assist this therapy approach.
