HERE-Bi: Feasibility and Acceptability of a Self-Esteem Intervention for Young Bisexual People to Reduce Non-Suicidal Self-Injury
Background
Bisexual youth are at a disproportionate risk of non-suicidal self-injury (NSSI). Unique stressors, such as biphobia and bi-erasure, and their impact on self-esteem, identity and a sense of belonging may help explain this disproportionate risk. Affirmative therapies promote self-acceptance and identity affirmation and may therefore be effective in boosting self-esteem and reducing NSSI.
Aims
This study aimed to assess the feasibility and acceptability of a cognitive behavioural therapy-based, self-esteem intervention for young bisexual people (aged 16–25) with experience of NSSI thoughts, urges and behaviour. Secondarily, this study examined indicators of change on measures of self-esteem, NSSI, identity and belongingness.
Methods
A case series design was used with eight participants who experienced NSSI urges, thoughts or behaviours in the previous 6 months. Participants received an affirmative, 8-week, self-esteem intervention and completed measures of self-esteem, NSSI, belongingness and identity.
Results
Six participants attended all eight therapy sessions, and two opted out before completion. There were no serious adverse events. The intervention was deemed to be acceptable and feasible, and evidence of improvements on measures of self-esteem, NSSI, positive identity and thwarted belongingness was observed.
Conclusions
The results suggest that this intervention is a safe, acceptable and feasible intervention, warranting further evaluation. Revisions and considerations for future trials of this affirmative therapy are proposed.
期刊介绍:
Clinical Psychology & Psychotherapy aims to keep clinical psychologists and psychotherapists up to date with new developments in their fields. The Journal will provide an integrative impetus both between theory and practice and between different orientations within clinical psychology and psychotherapy. Clinical Psychology & Psychotherapy will be a forum in which practitioners can present their wealth of expertise and innovations in order to make these available to a wider audience. Equally, the Journal will contain reports from researchers who want to address a larger clinical audience with clinically relevant issues and clinically valid research.
