Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) is a comprehensive cognitive behavioral treatment developed to assist individuals struggling with emotion regulation difficulties, particularly those diagnosed with borderline personality disorder. It aims to reduce self-harming behaviors and improve overall quality of life by teaching specific skills and strategies.
The efficacy of DBT has been demonstrated across a range of mental health conditions. It offers a structured approach to managing intense emotions, improving interpersonal relationships, and increasing self-awareness. Its roots are found in behavioral therapy, cognitive therapy, and mindfulness practices, offering a holistic framework for therapeutic intervention.
