Background The profound clinical and financial consequences of severe personality disorders (PDs) that emerge during adolescence have been acknowledged for some time, yet few specialist services exist for these young people. Aim The emerging personality disorder (EPD) project was designed to improve quality of life for young people with EPD and reduce the overall life cost of supporting people with PDs. Method A relational recovery approach was adopted and the team worked within the principles of attachment theory to promote trusting relationships and person-centred care to a group of five people age 17-25 years. Findings The EPD project delivered financial benefits for the service and positive clinical outcomes for the young people which far exceeded initial projections. Conclusion The EPD model could be used as a template for a person-centred, responsive service for young people with significant emotional difficulties. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] |
