at reducing observer rated symptoms of eating disorder as measured by the global score of the Eating Disorders Examination Questionnaire (EDE-Q) in patients with combined eating and borderline personality disorder symptoms up to 18 months post-randomisation than specialist supportive clinical management.

20 - 26 sessions over maximum one year for SSCM. Both groups receive 5 hours of dietetic advice in the year.
MBT participants receive weekly individual and group therapy for one year.
Intervention typeOther
Primary outcome measureEating disorder symptoms will be measured 6-monthly using the global score of the Eating Disorder Examination (Time points: 0, 6, 12, 18 months)
Secondary outcome measures1. Borderline Personality Disorder symptoms will be measured 6-monthly using the total score of the ZAN-BPD (Time points 0, 6, 12, 18 months)
2. The economic evaluation will examine the costs-effectiveness of Mentalization Based Therapy and Specialist Supportive Clinical Management including an analysis of incremental cost per QALY
3. Participant rated general psychiatric symptoms of Borderline Personality Disorder will be measured 6-monthly using the DASS-21 (Time points 0, 6, 12, 18 months)
4. Possible mediators of change in Borderline Personality Disorder symptoms include reflective function and object relations, measured by the Reflective Function Questionnaire, The Reading the Mind in the Eyes test and the Object Relations Inventory and personality factors (e.g. resilience, dysregulation, restriction) thought to be important in Eating Disorders (Time points 0, 6, 12, 18 months)
