What is Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT)?
Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT) is a comprehensive cognitive-behavioral treatment emphasizing the psychosocial aspects of therapy. Developed in the late 1980s to better treat borderline personality disorder, DBT has proven effective for various mental health issues like depression, eating disorders, and substance abuse. The core principle of DBT lies in its dialectical approach, urging individuals to accept their experiences while working on changing unhealthy behaviors.
This therapy combines individual psychotherapy with group skills training classes to enhance patients’ capabilities. It teaches behavioral skills like mindfulness, emotional regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness. By emphasizing acceptance and change, DBT aims to help individuals build genuinely meaningful and fulfilling lives.
