Abstract:	Introduction PDs have great impact on personal and societal level. This entails high societal costs, which underlines the need for (cost-)effective treatment. Inpatient group Schema Therapy (ST) appeared to be well suited for individuals with complex PDs. However, longitudinal studies into societal functioning among individuals with a PD are lacking in the literature. This study focusses on the following question: To what extent are wellbeing and functional schema modes measured at the end of an inpatient ST related to the societal functioning and positive mental wellbeing of individuals two to eight years after being treated for a complex PD? Additionally, the influence of COVID-19 will be taken into account. Results The treatment outcomes measured at the end of treatment were found to be not related to the work status measured at LFU. The psychological wellbeing measured at the end of treatment was found to be related to a cohabiting living situation measured at LFU. The functional modes at the end of treatment were found to be related with the positive mental wellbeing at LFU. However, when taking COVID-19 into account, not the functional modes but the social wellbeing were related to the positive mental wellbeing. Conclusion Psychological wellbeing and functional modes are found to be important factors for the societal functioning and positive mental wellbeing at long-term follow-up. When taking contextual factors of COVID-19 into account, social wellbeing at the end of treatment seems to be important for the experienced mental wellbeing at long-term follow-up. An explicit focus on these two forms of wellbeing is suggested to improve the (cost-) effectiveness of inpatient group ST.
