WHAT IS DBT?
Dialectical behavioral therapy was developed in the late 1980s to treat chronically suicidal people diagnosed with borderline personality disorder (BPD). Since then, ample research has demonstrated that DBT is effective in treating a wide range of other disorders, including:
HOW DBT WORKS?
In dialectical behavior therapy, clients learn new skills to manage their emotions and decrease conflict in their relationships. DBT does this by focusing on four key areas:
MINDFULNESS
Therapists teach mindfulness skills to help clients learn how to take stock of their current situation and be aware of their emotions. When you learn how to be present in the moment and accept what you’re feeling, you can better manage your response to conflict.
Distress tolerance
Learning distress tolerance skills increases a client’s ability to handle negative emotions in a healthy way. When you recognize that you can’t always control a situation—but you can control how you react to it— you are less likely to engage in unhealthy behaviors in an attempt to escape the negativity.
Emotion regulation
Emotion regulation teaches strategies to manage and change negative emotions that are causing problems. When you can reduce your vulnerability to emotional suffering, you are no longer controlled by your unhealthy responses to such suffering.
Interpersonal effectiveness
Interpersonal effectiveness skills help clients communicate with others in assertive, healthy ways that maintain self-respect and benefit relationships. When you know how to communicate in a thoughtful and deliberate manner, you are less likely to react impulsively to conflict.
IS DBT EFFECTIVE?
Yes, it is. Due to its emphasis on regulating emotions and adopting healthier coping skills, DBT is increasingly being used as part of a comprehensive treatment program for a variety of mental health disorders. Numerous organizations back this up, including:
The Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration includes DBT on its National Registry of Evidence-Based Programs and Practices The National Center for Biotechnology Information calls it “a well-established treatment for individuals with multiple and severe psychosocial disorders.” A study published in Psychiatric Times found that DBT significantly decreases suicide attempts, depression and substance use.
