Dialectical Behavioral Therapy

This document provides an overview of Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), originally developed by Marsha Linehan for treatment of Borderline Personality Disorder (BPD). DBT is a cognitive behavioral treatment that combines standard CBT techniques with acceptance-based strategies. The core components of DBT treatment include weekly individual therapy, skills training groups, phone consultation, and a therapist consultation team. Research has found DBT significantly reduces suicide attempts, self-harm behaviors, and hospitalizations among those with BPD.

● Helps Generalize Skills Outside of Therapy
● Clients call Therapist when they need help using a skill/ don’t know which skill
to use
● Duration 5-15 minutes
● Therapist assesses problem, identifies skills needed
● Purpose: Client may have already “solved” the situation in a maladaptive way
rather than seeking assistance AND Avoid Reinforcing Self-Injury through
Therapist Attention
Te Costaon
● 4 to 8 therapists weekly meetings for 1-2 hours

● Conducted by a leader who guides the team in a mindfulness exercise and


then sets the agenda according to members’ needs

● Team members may seek help applying DBT to individual cases or may ask
for support when feeling burned out

● Members offer consultation, constructive feedback, alternative viewpoints,


cheerlead each other

● Purpose: to enhance the therapists’ motivation and capability to deliver


effective treatment and to adhere to DBT principles

● Participants in the DBT condition had 1/2 as many suicide attempts, 2X likely to stay in treatment, had
reduced emergency department and inpatient psychiatric care use, and demonstrated less lethal or
medically risky suicide attempts

● Significant reductions in NSSI and ratings of depression

● BPD seems to respond well to structured treatments, dispelling long-held myth that BPD is untreatable.

● Note: Majority of BPD research has been conducted with entirely or primarily female populations :
There are no studies that specifically examine DBT in the context of minority or multicultural populations.
The gender bias is largely due to disproportionately higher rates of BPD diagnosis females as
compared to males.

● Future Research: Investigation of DBT in different minority and ethnic groups and more in-depth study
of gender differences are important areas for future research
