Note.The table demonstrates mixed model estimations of longitudinal (linear) change and corresponding estimated effect sizes for patients in MBT and in the former psychodynamic treatment program.
MBT = mentalization-based treatment; M = mean; SE = standard error; BSI = Brief Symptom Inventory; CIP = Circumplex of Interpersonal Problems; GAF = global assessment of functioning.
** and *indicates statistically significant at p < .01 and p < .05, respectively. Not significant differences (p > .05) are indicated by ns.
