title: [Current status of inpatient treatment for borderline personality disorders in Germany].
abstract: OBJECTIVE
  This study ties in with a former study by Dulz et al. assessing inpatient treatment for BPD in Germany and the implementation level of specific psychotherapy approaches.
  
  
  METHODS
  Via questionnaire we assessed the inpatient treatment of BPD.
  
  
  RESULTS
  Two hundred and ten out of 817 clinics returned the questionnaire (26 %). Nearly all offer BPD treatment. The developments since 1998 have been shorter inpatient stays and amplified implementation of cognitive-behavioral therapy, in particular DBT.
  
  
  CONCLUSIONS
  During the last 10 years, the proportion of clinics with BPD-specific treatments increased markedly. Limitations of the study are discussed.
