Dialectical Behavior Therapy
Dialectical behavior
therapy is an evidence-based psychotherapy designed to help people suffering
from borderline personality disorder. It has also been used to treat mood
disorders as well as those who need to change patterns of behaviour that are
not helpful, such as self-harm, suicidal ideation, and substance abuse.
The theory behind the
approach is that some people are prone to react in a more intense and
out-of-the-ordinary manner toward certain emotional situations, primarily those
found in romantic, family and friend relationships. DBT theory suggests that
some people’s arousal levels in such situations can increase far more quickly
than the average person’s, attain a higher level of emotional stimulation, and
take a significant amount of time to return to baseline arousal levels.
Dialectical behavior therapy (DBT) provides
clients with new skills to manage painful emotions and decrease conflict
in relationships. DBT specifically focuses on providing therapeutic skills in
four key areas.
