Emotion Regulation Individual Therapy for Adolescents (ERITA)
The ERITA intervention as add-on to TAU consists of 11 weeks, manualized online therapy based on the methods of Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) adapted for youth. The ERITA content consists of psychoeducation, emotion recognition, awareness training and theory of emotion regulation, including acceptance and validation skills.
Treatment as usual
Within Mental Health Services in Denmark child and adolescent psychiatrists provide specialized treatment for young psychiatric patients as outpatient services. In this trial the control intervention is treatment as usual (TAU) and consists of clinical assessment and treatment for patient's current primary psychiatric condition. TAU encounters a variety of clinical treatment and assessment offers, however, all within the field of expertise in child and adolescent psychiatry; out-patient care may consist of treatment for OCD, eating disorders, psychoses or affective disorders. TAU may consist of pharmacological treatment, Family-Based Treatment (FBT), Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), supportive counselling and/or psychoeducation.
