About

Camden and Islington NHS Foundation Trust in London has a Personality Disorder Service (PDS) which offers a number of evidence-based interventions to people with a diagnosis of Personality Disorder. One team in the PDS, the Community Team, offers an adapted form of Structured Clinical Management (SCM; Bateman and Kravitz, 2013). As these adaptations are novel, this study aims to formally explore the effectiveness of this intervention, through a sample of clients under the team, with outcomes (proxy measures of distress such as inpatient admissions) pre- and post- intervention.
