ABSTRACT
Establishing effective treatments for youth at risk of suicide is one of the most pressing and important tasks within child and adolescent psychiatry. Self-harm, which includes suicide attempt (SA), nonsuicidal self-injury (NSSI), and nonsuicidal self-poisoning, is one of the strongest predictors of suicide.1 Youth who engage in self-harm or experience mental health crisis are becoming more and more common, at increasingly younger ages, and so confidence in treatments to successfully reduce self-harm and prevent relapse and recurrence is crucial.2 However, the evidence base for such treatments is severely lacking despite some progress in the field.3-5 Dialectical behavior therapy (DBT) is the most established treatment option, but even so, the evidence comes from just a handful of studies and primarily focuses on the ability of DBT to reduce the repetition of self-harm. Whether DBT is successful in supporting young people along their recovery journey and is equally effective at treating different forms of self-harm are yet to be properly explored.
