Abstract

Abstract
The aim of the present study was to determine the effectiveness of
DBT on reducing self-harming behaviors in juvenile offenders who
resided in Tehran's Juvenile Correction and Rehabilitation Centre.
This study was semi-experimental (pretest-posttest with control
group). The sample consisted of 30 juvenile offenders aged 12 to 18
years who resided in Tehran's Juvenile Correction and Rehabilitation
Centre. Klonsky and Glenn's Inventory of Statements about SelfInjury (ISAS) was used to collect pretest-posttest data. After the
pretest, the experimental group was treated with the dialectical
behavior therapy (DBT) program. This program was held in 10
weekly ninety-minute sessions. Data were analyzed using covariance
analysis (ANCOVA).
The results showed that DBT was effective on reducing selfharming behaviors of juvenile offenders who resided in Tehran’s
Juvenile Correction and Rehabilitation Center. Moreover, the effect of
DBT on reducing intrapersonal and interpersonal functions of selfharming behaviors of juvenile offenders was confirmed
