Adaptable IERITA
IERITA is a 12-week acceptance-based behavioral therapy. The goal is to reduce self-injury through learning and using other ways to regulate emotions. IERITA includes modules where the participants can read text, watch videos, listen to audio, and message their allocated therapists. The adolescent treatment is 11 modules, and the parent course is six. Both adolescents and parents receive separate asynchronous online therapist support. The adapted IERITA intervention is tailored to the participant and can thus entail different adaptions for different participants. Adaptions can entail changes in therapist contact, what material to focus on, and how to work with the treatment. The adapted IERITA intervention is offered between week four and 12.
