Counseling for Self-Injury in Malaysian School Students
Part of Mental health clinical trials.
This study tests a counseling program designed to help 12-year-old students who hurt themselves without wanting to die. The program combines two types of therapy—motivational interviewing (which helps build motivation for change) and rational emotive behavior therapy (which teaches new ways to handle difficult feelings)—delivered in group sessions at school.
