Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT) is an evidence-based psychotherapy that was initially developed in order to treat borderline personality disorder. DBT has since shown its effectiveness in treatment of mood disorders, suicidal ideation, and for change in behavioral patterns such as self-harm, severe anxiety and substance abuse. DBT utilizes concepts of the duality of acceptance and change and incorporates the use of four empowering and life changing modules: Emotional Regulation skills, Distress Tolerance skills, Mindfulness skills and Interpersonal Effectiveness skills.
