Brief Summary: The assessment of the efficacy of a structured, dimension-based, STI (Short Term Intervention) in de-compensated Personality-disorder, hospitalized, patients

Detailed Summary:

The current study attempts to design a short-term intervention aimed at stabilizing decompensate personality disorder patients in hospitalization. The study is structured as a pilot study, thus will enroll 20 patients only. Patients, upon being hospitalized and after signing the consent to participate in the study, will be randomized to two groups: The first will be treated by the novel, LOOP, concept` the other will be TAU, as routinely done with PersDis patients in the investigators facility. The outcome parameters will be changes in series of questionnaires filled upon being enrolled and at the end of the intervention. Another outcome parameter will be readmission rates in the post-intervention period (3 months).

The LOOP conceptualizes the psyche by a three-dimension structure: the space (the potential of experiencing, the "place" where the investigators experiences occur), the content (the experiences themselves; action, thoughts, feelings, experiences and being) and the order (the relationship between the various contents). The LOOP intervene with these three dimensions by a structures scheme, aimed at allowing the patient to quickly reclaim the responsibility on his psyche, stabilize and initiate long-term rehabilitation processes.
