Summary
Discover everything you need to know about the popular mindfulness-based DBT therapy used to treat borderline personality disorder as well as a range of other mental health issues.
Dialectical behavior therapy (DBT) is a form of cognitive-behavioral treatment developed to treat individuals with borderline personality disorder. Research has shown that it is also effective for treating other personality disorders, substance abuse, depression, eating disorders, and post-traumatic stress disorder.
In The Everything Guide to DBT, you’ll learn the four sets of behavior skills: mindfulness, distress tolerance, interpersonal effectiveness, and emotion regulation—along with the primary dialectic within DBT: acceptance and change. You will learn how to find and work with a therapist specializing in DBT, as well as mindfulness techniques and self-soothing exercises to do on your own.
