What is Dialectical Behavior Therapy?

Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) is a type of cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT) originally developed to treat borderline personality disorder (BPD). It has since been adapted to address various other mental health conditions, including mood disorders, substance abuse, eating disorders, and PTSD. DBT emphasizes the development of coping skills to manage distress, regulate emotions, improve interpersonal relationships, and cultivate mindfulness using the four modules of DBT therapy.
