Dialectic Behaviour Therapy (DBT) for People With Autism: A Multiple Baseline Single Case Design (DGT-ASS)
Dialectic Behaviour Therapy (DBT) for People With Autism, Emotion Regulation Difficulties and Self-harm Behaviour: A Multiple Baseline Single Case Design
The goal of this experimental study is to test the effectiveness of Dialectic Behavioural Therapy in patients with Autism Spectrum Disorder. The aim questions are:
- What is the effect of DBT on maladaptive emotion regulation strategies and emotional well-being in patients with ASD?
- Is the use of DBT skills associated with a reduction in maladaptive emotion regulation strategies and an increase of emotional well-being over time?
- What are the dynamics over time between maladaptive emotion regulation strategies, emotional well-being and sensory overload?
Participants will:
- Follow DBT of 10 months
- Keep a diary on their urge of maladaptive emotion regulation strategies and well-being

Tidsramme |
|---|---|---|
|
Maladaptive Emotion Regulation Strategies (MERS) measured assessed by the DBT diary (Linehan, 2016)
Tidsramme: From enrollment to end of treatment at 10 months
|
MERS is the average of the urge to six maladaptive emotion regulation strategies:

From enrollment to end of treatment at 10 months
|
|
Emotional well-being as assessed by the DBT diary (Linehan, 2016)
Tidsramme: From enrollment to end of treatment at 10 months
|
The daily diary measures emotional suffering and happiness on a scale from 0 - 100.
Emotional suffering is inverted, following the logic that higher emotional suffering means lower emotional well-being.
The variable well-being is created by averaging the invert of emotional suffering and happiness.

Emotion regulation
Tidsramme: At the start of the baseline phase (T1), at the end of the treatment phase at 10 months (T2)
|
As measured with the Difficulties in Emotion Regulation Scale (DERS) (Gratz & Roemer, 2004).
The DERS is a 36-item questionnaire with 5-point Likert answers, ranging from "almost never" to "almost always".
