Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) is a comprehensive behavioral intervention designed to treat individuals with severe mental disorders and out-of-control cognitive, emotional and behavioral patterns. It has been commonly viewed as a treatment for individuals meeting criteria for Borderline Personality Disorder (BPD) with chronic and high-risk suicidality, substance dependence or eating disorders. However, over the years, research has shown that it is effective in treating a wide range of other disorders such as depression, anxiety and post- traumatic stress disorder (PTSD). It is also effective in treating problems with suicidal behaviors, intentional self-injury, history of chaotic and intense relationships and frequent psychiatric hospital visits.
