ObjectiveResearch suggests that weight suppression (WS) is linked to non‐suicidal self‐injury (NSSI) and that drive for thinness and depression may explain this association. We conducted a proof‐of‐concept study using a randomized control trial design to determine if improving body esteem and reducing depressive symptoms reduced NSSI in individuals with WS.MethodWeight suppressed participants (N= 60) who engaged in NSSI were recruited from the community and randomly assigned to an on‐line intervention or control condition. The on‐line intervention was adapted from a cognitive‐dissonance intervention originally designed to reduce thin‐ideal internalization in females to an intervention to reduce internalization of unhealthy body ideals in both genders. Participants' weight/shape concerns, depressive symptoms, and NSSI were assessed at pre‐ and post‐intervention, or at baseline and 2‐week follow‐up for controls.ResultsCompared to controls, participants in the treatment condition reported greater decreases in likelihood of future NSSI [Cohen's d (95% CI) = −0.38 (−0.90–0.15)], weight/shape concerns [−1.19 (−1.75 to −0.62)], depressive symptoms [−1.00 (−1.56 to −0.45)], and significant improvements in appearance [1.27 (0.70–1.84)] and weight esteem [1.38 (0.80–1.96)].DiscussionFuture work could test this intervention in a larger trial with an active alternative treatment condition.
