[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Wow I’m glad someone posted this although I disagree with OP’s spin - DBT is the evidence based treatment for suicidalality/self harm. This study shows however that a partial DBT program delivered to mentally healthy kids can cause iatrogenic harm. Curious what mechanism people think is happening?[/quote] It’s causing the kids to focus on negative emotions that they were previously letting go. In people who are suicidal/self-harming, they are already focused on negative emotions, and DBT teaches them to manage that. The first step is always to recognize and acknowledge your negative emotion. If people don’t have a negative focus to start out with, DBT teaches them to have a negative focus. We all have lots of fleeting negative emotions that come and go throughout our day. If you don’t have a focus on them, teaching someone to focus on them is going to exacerbate the emotions that would have otherwise just passed. [/quote]
