Sumario: | PURPOSE OF REVIEW: Provision of mental health services through digital technologies (e-mental health) can potentially expand access to treatments for personality disorders (PDs). We evaluated studies on e-mental health for PDs published over the last 3 years (2019–2022). RECENT FINDINGS: Studies published in English that used e-mental health to treat people with PDs or PD-related symptoms were identified. We identified 19 studies, including four randomized controlled trials and one meta-analysis. Most interventions were based on Dialectical Behavior Therapy and delivered through smartphone applications for adults with Borderline Personality Disorder [BPD] or related symptoms. User experiences of the interventions were generally positive. Evidence for efficacy was limited. SUMMARY: The current literature on e-mental health for PDs is limited in scope. Research in understudied populations and randomized controlled trials designed to establish efficacy are warranted. It is not yet clear whether e-mental health may be helpful for the treatment of PDs. |
