Figure 1

Longitudinal change of health service costs and global functioning. The figures illustrate the longitudinal course (mixed-model estimations) of health service costs (mean total health service costs: solid black line, mean treatment costs: blue dotted line, and mean emergency costs: red dotted line) with costs (in euros) given on the left Y-axis. The change trajectory for global functioning (given on the right Y-axis) is represented by the black dotted line. Separate figures demonstrate (1) the full sample of patients with different personality disorders (mixed PD) in the step-down (SDC) and the outpatient condition (OPC), (2) patients with borderline PD (BPD), and (3) with avoidant PD (APD) in the two treatment conditions. The point of randomisation is denoted by Time = 0 months.
