Secondary Outcome Measures
Suicidal Ideation Questionnaire
Self-report measure was requested a baseline and end of treatment to measure the severity of suicidal ideas.
Life Problems Inventory
Symptoms of Borderline Personality Disorder were measured by a self-report form at baseline and post-treatment.
Resiliency Scales for Children and Adolescents
