Interventions for self-harm in children and adolescents

CONCLUSIONS: Given the moderate or very low quality of the available evidence, and the small number of trials identified, there is only uncertain evidence regarding a number of psychosocial interventions in children and adolescents who engage in SH. Further evaluation of DBT-A is warranted. Given the evidence for its benefit in adults who engage in SH, individual CBT-based psychotherapy should also be further developed and evaluated in children and adolescents.PMID:33677832 | DOI:10.1002/14651858.CD013667.pub2
