Abstract

Background: The prevalence of non-suicidal self-injury has increased in Adolescents. This study aimed to assess the effectiveness of Family therapy compared with treatment as usual in improving Character strengths.and reducing Self-harm repetition in Adolescents. Methods: The research was designed as semi-experimental with a pre-test, post-test, and control group. The statistical population was all students of Tehran's middle schools with self-injury from October to September 2022. 53 eligible Adolescents were selected purposefully. The participants were randomly divided into two groups: a Family therapy counseling (n=27 people) and a control group (n=26 people). The experimental group received sixteen 75-min counseling sessions held weekly, while the control group underwent no interventions. Both groups received post-test evaluations following these sessions. Then, the Deliberate Self-harm Inventory and Values in Action Inventory of Strengths scale (VIA-Youth) pre-and post-intervention were implemented. SPSS 24 used a multivariate analysis of the covariance (MANCOVA) version. Results: The effect of Family therapy on the self-injury variable was significant (F=32. 61,Pvalue<0. 001). Also, the effect of Family therapy on Character strengths.(F=24. 81,Pvalue<0. 001) was confirmed. In addition, it related the largest effect size to the self-injury variable (0. 648), which shows that 64% of the total variances of the experimental and control groups result from a Family therapy approach. Conclusions: The results showed that Family therapy could effectively improve Character strengths.and reduce self-injurious behaviors in Adolescents aged 13-16
