Interventions

BEHAVIORAL

Affect Regulation Training

Following the guidelines for the 6-week intensive ART format, we scheduled one 180-minutes session per week (each consisting of two modules à 90min) for a period of six subsequent weeks. Training groups included four to eight participants. The implementation of ART followed standardized treatment protocols (Berking \& Whitley, 2014). ART was delivered by doctoral candidates (DCs) in clinical psychology who had completed or were in advanced stages of their clinical training. All therapists had been intensely trained and received weekly supervision from experienced ART trainers. To control adherence a random sample of 5% of all sessions was be videotaped and will be rated with regard to adherence.
