Evidence Base Update of Psychosocial Treatments for Self-Injurious Thoughts and Behaviors in Youth: 2018–2024
DBT-A remains the sole well-established intervention for reducing SITBs, with replication by multiple independent research teams. Half the RCTs identified in this review aimed to replicate or extend prior interventions. Several newly identified trials in this review were primarily adjunctive or brief, demonstrating greater efforts to enhance the availability of interventions for SITBs in youth. Further replication of these adjunctive treatments is needed to clarify their effectiveness and potential for widespread implementation.
