Summary

This rejoinder notes that several key points were discussed in response to the authors' review of brief psychosocial interventions for personality disorders. In particular, the commentary suggested that understanding key mechanisms of change and moderators of treatment outcome were especially important to make forward progress in streamlining treatments for personality disorders. Here the authors highlight several shared candidate mechanisms of change across brief treatments for personality disorders, including a focus on education regarding emotion regulation, interpersonal processes, and instilling hope and expectancies for change. They also discuss the possibility that moderators of treatment outcome should be examined across types of outcomes. Moreover, some outcomes may be more amenable to brief treatments than others. Recommendations for future research in this area are discussed.
