The efficacy of the treatment of personality disorder was repeatedly been reported as less successful than the therapy of patients without personality disorder. Our study is designed to compare the short-term effectiveness of therapy in patient suffering with social phobia with and without personality disorder. The aim of the study was to asses the efficacy of the 6 week therapeutic program designed for social phobia (SSRIs and CBT) in patients suffering with social phobia and comorbid personality disorder (17 patients) and social phobia without comorbid personality disorder (18 patients). They were regularly assessed in week 0, 2, 4, and 6 on the CGI (Clinical Global Improvement) for severity, LSAS (Liebowitz Social Anxiety Scale), and in self-assessments BAI (Beck Anxiety Inventory) and BDI (Beck Depression Inventory). Patients of both two groups improved in most of assessment instruments. A combination of CBT and pharmacotherapy proved to be the effective treatment of patients suffering with social phobia with or without comorbid personality disorder. The treatment efficacy in the patients with social phobia without personality disorder had been showed significantly better compared with the group with social phobia comorbid with personality disorder in CGI and specific inventory for social phobia – LSAS. Also the scores in subjective depression inventory BDI showed significantly higher degrease during the treatment in the group without personality disorder. But the treatment effect between groups did not differ in subjective general anxiety scales BAI.
