The alarming rates and pervasiveness of suicidal and self-destructive behaviors (e.g., non-suicidal self-injury) among young sexual minorities represent a major public health concern. We set out to examine whether an empirically driven treatment for suicide and self-harm, dialectical behavior therapy for adolescents (DBT-A), provides benefits for adolescents who identify as gay, lesbian, bisexual, or questioning (LGBQ). LGBQ adolescents (n = 16) were compared with non-LGBQ peers (n = 23). Psychological measures were collected before and after participation in a comprehensive DBT-A program. LGBQ participants demonstrated significant improvements in emotion regulation, depression, borderline symptoms, and coping strategies; changes were comparable to their heterosexual peers.
在年轻的性少数群体中,自杀和自残行为(例如非自杀性自伤)的惊人发生率和普遍性是一个主要的公共卫生关注点。我们着手研究一种针对自杀和自残的循证治疗方法,即青少年辩证行为疗法(DBT-A),是否对认同为同性恋、女同性恋、双性恋或疑惑的青少年(LGBQ)有益。LGBQ 青少年(n=16)与非 LGBQ 同龄人(n=23)进行了比较。在参与全面的 DBT-A 项目前后收集了心理测量数据。LGBQ 参与者在情绪调节、抑郁、边缘症状和应对策略方面表现出显著改善;这些变化与他们的异性恋同龄人相当。
