Dialectical Behavioral Therapy

Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT) is a treatment for persons diagnosed with Borderline Personality Disorder.

Borderline Personality Disorder (BPD) is a condition in which a person has difficulty regulating his or her emotions.  The person might react strongly to what might seem to others to be an insignificant remark or incident, or the person might see anger or hostility in others that isn't really there.  BPD also can be characterized by emotional neediness or a fear of being abandoned.  Persons with BPD often have trouble maintaining personal relationships, dealing with the routine challenges of daily life, and may engage in self-destructive behavior.

In DBT, a person meets weekly with a therapist and also takes part in a weekly skills development course.  Initially, individuals develop ways to cope successfully with intense emotions.  As they improve these skills, individuals then can begin to confront specific challenges in their lives that they have not been able to cope with successfully in the past.
