21/09/2016 The qualitative findings indicate underlying changes in thinking that may account for some of the measurable changes in members' mental health and functioning Services enable individuals to address two main problem areas: relating to others and self-harm. The study suggests that once-weekly TCs provide an effective therapeutic approach to the problems associated with personality disorder. Hodge et al 2010 Significant improvements in both the mental health and social functioning of service users. Changes in patterns of self-harm and service use were suggestive of possible underlying improvements. We also found evidence of the possible offset of costs within 16 months of an individual leaving one of the services. Conclusions: This study suggests one-day therapeutic communities may be both clinically- and cost-effective for people with personality disorder Barr et al 2010 What is a TC? Where is the magic? Who joins? Ethics? Evidence? 4

We suggest that TCs are uniquely placed to demand such growth and change of their members • Supported • Understood • Understanding • Connection • Friendship • Connected • Connection • Connected? • Accepted • Connected • Hard to accept care • Need to share • Liked for yourself • Get out what you • Cant help everyone put in all the time • Support 5
