Does DBT-A-ST produce greater improvements, compared to SBG, on primary and secondary outcome measures? Participants is: Randomly assigned to (a) a culturally adapted DBT-A-ST or (b) Satir-based group (SBG). Received five assessments before the start of the trial (T1), after 4, 8 sessions (T2, T3), at post-intervention (T4), and 3-month follow-up (T5).
