Implementation of Dialectical Behavior Therapy with Suicidal and Self-Harming Adolescents in a Community Clinic.
Archives of Suicide Research : Official Journal of the International Academy for Suicide Research 2018 August 25
OBJECTIVE: To examine the feasibility and effectiveness of Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) with suicidal and self-harming adolescents treated in a community clinic.
METHOD: Twenty-four adolescents at high risk for suicide were enrolled in six months of comprehensive DBT, provided by therapists and trainees at a county-run outpatient mental health clinic serving disadvantaged, ethnic minority clients.
RESULTS: Results showed significant pre/post-treatment decreases in suicide attempts, non-suicidal self-injury behaviors (NSSI), and suicidal ideation. Results also showed significant decreases in other suicide risk factors, including: emotion dysregulation, depression, impulsivity, BPD symptoms, psychopathology, PTSD symptoms and substance use, as well as increases in family expressiveness and reasons for living. Treatment retention and satisfaction rates were high.
CONCLUSION: As many youth at risk for suicide will be treated in community settings, findings showing that receiving DBT in a community clinic resulted in significant improvements across a range of suicide risk factors are an important contribution to the adolescent suicide prevention literature.
