INTRODUCTION: Avoidant personality disorder (AvPD) is a prevalent condition characterized by low self-esteem and social withdrawal. Nonetheless, targeted psychotherapy remains limited. This study aimed to examine short-term metacognitive interpersonal therapy in group (MIT-G) tailored for AvPD and to compare the outcomes of patients receiving this treatment with patients participating in outpatient group therapies within specialized mental health services for personality disorders (representing best available practice). METHODS: The study had a quasi-experimental design and included 56 patients with AvPD who participated in MIT-G. The comparison group was derived from the Norwegian Network for Personality Disorders (N = 154). Assessments for the MIT-G group were conducted before and after treatment and at a 6-month follow-up. Outcome measures included personality functioning, alexithymia, symptoms of anxiety and depression, work/social functioning and group relationships. RESULTS: Significant, moderate improvements were found across all outcome measures in the MIT-G group. Enhancement in personality functioning was greater, and group relationships, specifically regarding group cohesion and perceptions of positive work, were rated more satisfactory than in the comparison group. CONCLUSIONS: The findings suggest that MIT-G contributes to significant clinical improvements among patients with AvPD. The greater enhancement of personality functioning may link to better group relationships. Limitations include the nonrandomised design, unable to draw causal inferences.
