Key inclusion & exclusion criteria

Health Condition(s) or Problem(s) studied
Mental and behavioural disorders: Other mental disorder
Intervention(s)
1. Psychological treatment using a psychoeducational and problem solving approach to suicide behaviour: manual-assisted cognitive-behaviour therapy (MACT)
2. Standard care
Primary Outcome(s)
The main outcome measures will be the time of the next parasuicide act (using Linehan's definition of this, which is more minor than an actual suicide attempt). Our expectation is that our experimental treatment will extend this from a mean of three weeks to a mean of three months and this will require a sample size of 30 in each treatment group.
Secondary Outcome(s)
1. Time to first suicidal act
2. Rate of suicidal acts
3. Change in anxiety and depressive symptoms
