Abstrakt: The article presents a study conducted to women aged 18-45 years on the effectiveness of dialectical behavior therapy compared with non-behavioral psychotherapy in the prevention of suicidal and self-harming behavior in women with borderline personality disorder. The study revealed that dialectical behavior therapy reduces suicide attempts but not self-harming behavior compared with standard non-behavioral psychotherapy. The dialectical behavior therapy also decreases treatment discontinuation.
