✦ Synopsis

well-established treatment and another class of disorders (personality disorders) without a wellestablished treatment for older adults. Thus, we decided that the best first step was to determine whether a well-established treatment of a personality disorder in younger adults (DBT) could offer benefits over an efficacious treatment (i.e. antidepressants) for older adults.

Again, we appreciate the thoughtful comments and critiques offered by van Alphen et al. of our recent paper (Lynch et al., 2007). We hope that this series of interactions contributes to the continued study of the assessment and treatment of psychopathology in older adults.
