Exclusion Criteria

•1\) Acute Suicidality: Suicidality is assessed in the telephone interview using the Suicide Risk Assessment Interview (SRAI; Arnoldi, Van de Ven, Schrieken, \& Lange, 2000; Knaevelsrud, 2005\). If potential participants express acute suicidality, they will be excluded from the treatment. In addition, the suicide item of the Beck\-Depression\-Inventaroy (BDI\-II; Hautzinger et al., 2006\) is considered separately in the weekly after\-session\-measurements. The answer options of the item are: 1\) I do not think about doing anything to me; 2\) I sometimes think of suicide but would not do it; 3\) I would like to kill myself; 4\) I would kill myself if I had the opportunity. If participants indicate any other option than option 1\), a telephone appointment will be arranged and a separate suicide screening will be conducted, which will check the concreteness and quality of the suicidal thoughts.
•2\) Increased Depressiveness: Participants who have a BDI\-II score of \> 35 are excluded from the treatment.
•3\) Psychotic Experience: Participants with a cut\-off score \> 13 in the Dutch Screening Device for Psychotic Disorder (SDPD; Knaevelsrud, 2005; Lange, Schrieken, Blankers, Van de Ven, \& Slot, 2000\) are excluded from the study.
•4\) Increased Alcohol, Drug, or Substance Use: Measured by the biographical questionnaire and the Structured Clinical Interview for DSM\-IV Achse I (SKID\-I; Wittchen, Zaudig, \& Fydrich, 1997\).
•5\) Persons already in psychotherapeutic treatment: Measured using the biographical questionnaire.
•6\) Borderline personality disorder and/or self\-injurious behavior: Measured by the Structured Clinical Interview for DSM\-IV Axis II (SKID\-II; Wittchen et al., 1997\)
•7\) Bipolar disorder: Measured by the SKID\-I.
