The SKIP project is a randomized controlled trial, comparing the efficacies of two forms of psychotherapy, and general psychiatric care (treatment as usual). The Regional Ethical Review Board in Stockholm approved the study protocol (Dnr. 95-283) and the participants gave their written informed consent to the study.\nInclusion criteria were a history of at least two suicide attempts (defined as a self-destructive act with some degree of intent to die), borderline diagnosis according to DSM–IV, a fair capacity to communicate verbally and in writing in the Swedish language, and aged between 18 and 50 years. Exclusion criteria were schizophrenia spectrum psychosis, melancholia, mental retardation, drug abuse and severe anorexia."}
