This study provides an introduction to ecological momentary assessment (EMA) methods and the potential use of ecological momentary intervention (EMI) for nonsuicidal self-injury (NSSI). The novel use of EMA and EMI are discussed within the context of the emotion regulation function of NSSI, the ability of these approaches to complement established treatments (i.e., cognitive behavior therapy & dialectical behavior therapy), and the specific areas in which an EMI treatment approach can augment traditional treatment. Based on established EMA findings in general and specific applications of EMA to the NSSI, a model EMI for NSSI is proposed.

IntroductionDialectical behavior therapy (DBT) is a comprehensive psycho-social treatment developed by Marsha Linehan and originally designed for persons meeting criteria for borderline personality disorder (BPD). DBT is considered as a standard evidence based treatment for suicidal BPD patients in most international guidelines. Although its effectiveness has been proved in multiple studies across different patient populations but almost all the research was conducted in North American or European countries. The current study was the first trial to apply DBT in Egypt with a different language and culture than where the treatment was originally developed.ObjectivesAssessment of incidence of suicidal attempts and non-suicidal self-injury (NSSI) among a sample of Egyptian BPD patients enrolled in an outpatient DBT program.AimThe aim of the current study was to estimate impact of comprehensive DBT on suicidal attempts and NSSI when applied to Egyptian BPD patients.MethodsTwenty-five BPD patients, 4 males and 21 females, were included in a comprehensive outpatient DBT program for one year and incidence of suicidal attempts and NSSI were calculated.ResultsFive patients only attempted suicide again with an incidence of 20% and a mean of one attempt/patient. Seven patients attempted NSSI with an incidence of 28%, an overall 22 incidents and a mean of 3 incidents/patient.ConclusionAlthough this was the first time to apply DBT in an Egyptian population, DBT proved to be an effective psycho-therapeutic intervention for suicidal BPD patients across regardless of different language or culture.Disclosure of interestThe authors have not supplied their declaration of competing interest.
