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. In the adapted IERITA intervention, the therapists develop an individual case conceptualization that forms the basis for a brief interview with the adolescent after the classification phase (from randomization to treatment week four), during which potential obstacles and necessary adaptations are explored. Adaption can entail scheduled or regular chats or videoconferences, selecting specific material to focus on, and involving additional support persons. The adapted IERITA intervention is offered after the classification phase until treatment week 12.
