All participants complete a consent form and will be informed of the results of the trial, if desired. Research staff sign a confidentiality agreement. The protection of data is conform to the ERB guidelines. Previous studies on tCBT showed no risk to the safety of participants. The research staff is trained to carry out the initial assessment of suicidal risk and emergency, and if there is any doubt about safety, they will establish contact with the primary care physician or hospital emergency department. Therapists are rigorously trained for the intervention, and the patients will continue their usual care for the duration of the study.
