Ougrin D, Tranah T, Leigh E, Taylor L, Asarnow JR. J Child Psychol Psychiatry. 2012 Apr;53(4):337-50
This review of interventions for young people with deliberate self-harm found that developmental group psychotherapy and multi-systemic therapy (MST) show some promise, while dialectical behaviour therapy (DBT) and cognitive behaviour therapy (CBT) remain to be formally studied using randomised controlled trials. The evidence base for deliberate self-harm treatment in young people remains limited.
