Background & Objective: Adolescence is an important and outstanding stage of social and psychological development. This research was conducted with the aim of comparing the effectiveness of emotion-oriented therapy and therapy based on acceptance and commitment on the interpersonal needs of hospitalized adolescents with self-injury.
Methods: The research method was single case (A-B-A) with multiple baseline and follow-up period. The statistical population was adolescents aged 14 to 19 years admitted to the psychiatric department of Baqiyatullah Azam Hospital in Tehran in 2021-2022. 8 people were selected by purposeful sampling method and randomly placed in two groups of 4 people. One group received emotional therapy and the other group received treatment based on acceptance and commitment in 8 sessions of 90 minutes. The research tool was Van Orden et al.'s (2012) interpersonal needs questionnaire. The interpersonal needs of adolescents were measured again after each session and in the follow-up phase, and the data were analyzed based on visual analysis and descriptive statistical indicators.
Results: The results showed that emotion-oriented therapy and therapy based on acceptance and commitment were effective on the interpersonal needs of adolescents (P<0.001). Also, the results of the average percentage of overall recovery showed that emotion-oriented therapy is more effective than acceptance and commitment-based therapy in reducing neutral belongingness and the perception of being burdensome in adolescents with self-injury.
Conclusion: Emotion-oriented therapy and therapy based on acceptance and commitment can be considered as an effective method to improve the interpersonal needs of teenagers and can be used in counseling and educational centers.
