LPP included sessions 2–3 times a week for up to 3 years. Sessions were intensive, open-ended, and transference-based; focussing on a broad range of intrapsychic and interpersonal conflicts. SPP included 20 weekly sessions over 5–6 months. Sessions were brief, transference-based and focused on specific intrapsychic and interpersonal conflicts. SFT included up to 12 sessions over a maximum of 8 months. These were brief goal-focused, resource-oriented sessions helping participants to construct solutions to particular problems. Participants could receive additional treatments during the study, such as psychotherapy, psychotropic medication and psychiatric hospitalisation. Psychotherapy was more common in the short-term therapy groups (35–36%) than in the long-term therapy group (16%).
