Brief Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT-B) for Suicidal Behavior and Non-Suicidal Self Injury
Abstract
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the effectiveness of a shorter course of Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) in enhancing treatment retention and reducing: urges to engage in non-suicidal self injury (NSSI), NSSI, suicide ideation, and subjective distress in borderline personality disorder (BPD). Twenty patients with BPD received a six-month course of Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT-B). DBT-B was delivered in the standard manner except for the shortened duration from one-year minimum to six months. All variables were measured at baseline, and at six months. Data were analyzed using paired t-tests. Treatment retention rate was 95%. Significant reductions were found in NSSI urges, NSSI, suicide ideation, subjective distress, depression, and hopelessness between baseline and six months. These results support the use of DBT-B in a six-month format when NSSI and suicidal behavior and ideation are the targeted behaviors. Target behaviors were reduced significantly and retention was extremely high in comparison to other interventions for this population. A large scale randomized controlled trial investigating its efficacy is warranted to determine if the results can be replicated and if improvement can be sustained.

“The optimal duration of DBT has been understudied, but some findings indicate that brief formats (e.g. 6-month, 16-week) are effective in treating ED (e.g. Koons et al., 2001; Stanley et al., 2007; Pasieczny & Connor, 2011; Neacsiu et al., 2014; Delparte et al., 2019).”

“Post-treatment outcomes are consistent with previous studies showing that brief DBT formats result in a significant decrease in these clinical dimensions at the end of the treatment (Stanley et al., 2007; Mehlum et al., 2014; Swales et al., 2016; Sahranavard & Miri, 2018).”

“…as 75% of individuals with borderline personality disorder engage in some form of NSSI, and=or suicidal behavior (self destructive behavior with an intent to die) (Gunderson, 2001; Linehan, 1993), a rate much higher than that of groups in the general population (Gratz, 2001; Ross and Heath, 2002).”

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
