A total of 196 individuals with mental disorders and NSSI were recruited.

DBT-ST was significantly more effective than SSGT in reducing the frequency of NSSI behaviors. It also showed superior effects on borderline symptoms and multiple domains of psychological functioning, including emotion dysregulation, impulsivity, alexithymia, mindfulness, psychological resilience, and emotional intelligence. Both groups exhibited significant reductions in the frequency of NSSI thoughts, suicidal ideation and attempts, and depression, with no significant between-group differences in these outcomes.\n
