A one group intervention-based study was conducted in women
jail, Karachi, Pakistan. The aim was to determine whether
cognitive behavior therapy, administered in prison setting, was
effective in reducing the frequency of deliberate self-harm in
female prisoners. 40 female inmates were interviewed; nine
inmates with a history of deliberate self-harm were screened out
for 12 sessions of cognitive behavior therapy. Deliberate Self-harm
Inventory (Gratz, 2001) and Brief COPE (Carver, 1997) were
administered to explore deliberate self-harm behaviors and coping
strategies of women prisoners. The number of deliberate self-harm
episodes before and after therapy was the main outcome measure.
An approximate 29% incarcerated women reported deliberate selfharm.
Relief from anger and tension, and feelings of hopelessness,
and helplessness were the main motives. Cutting and burning were
the most common types of deliberate self-harm behaviors reported.
The frequency of self-harm episodes was minimal during and after
therapy. Findings and implications have been discussed.
