Feasibility and Effectiveness of a New Short-Term Psychotherapy Concept for Adolescents With Emotional Dysregulation

Conclusion: START demonstrates preliminary evidence for improvement in emotional dysregulation after a 5-weeks course of treatment. Therefore, this short-term intervention can possibly be regarded as a tool to improve emotional stability in children with a high load of trauma-related psychopathology. The results are promising and warrant future studies, specifically randomized controlled trials on the effectiveness of START for strengthening resilience at-risk-populations.
