Abstract
Deliberate self poisoning is one of the commonest reasons for admission to hospital in the UK. Up to 15 per cent of patients who poison themselves eventually kill themselves. Despite this, there are no interventions of proved efficacy. The objective of this randomised controlled trial was to determine the effects of a brief psychological intervention (brief psychodynamic interpersonal therapy) for patients after deliberate self poisoning, compared with usual treatment and the impact of the intervention and usual treatment on patients' satisfaction with care.
