Treatment for Self-Injurious Behaviors (T-SIB), with Dr. Peggy Andover

The Psychology of Self-Injury: Exploring Self-Harm & Mental Health

A lot of therapies address the context in which nonsuicidal self-injury (NSSI) and self-harm may occur, but only a few treatments have been designed to address NSSI specifically. In this episode, we dive into one of these treatments: Treatment for Self-Injurious Behaviors (T-SIB). Dr. Peggy Andover, its lead developer, walks us through the 9 sessions of T-SIB, including the personalized modules of sessions 7 & 8.
