What is DBT?

Dialectical Behavior Therapy:

Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) is a cognitive behavioral treatment developed by Marsha Linehan, PhD. It was originally developed to treat chronically suicidal individuals diagnosed with borderline personality disorder (BPD). It is considered the gold standard treatment for individuals with BPD. Research has also shown that DBT is effective in treating depression, anxiety, substance abuse, and eating disorders.

The main goal in DBT is to help clients build a life worth living. In DBT, the client and therapist work together to set goals that are meaningful to the client. Therapy will focus on decreasing harmful behaviors and increasing life enhancing behaviors. DBT helps enhance a client’s abilities through the use of the DBT skills. These skills are focused on the areas of Mindfulness, Interpersonal Effectiveness, Emotion Regulation and Distress Tolerance. DBT participants use the skills in order to navigate every day to crisis situations that may arise in their life.
