Dialectical Behavior Therapy
(DBT) Group
Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) is a cognitive behavioral treatment that was originally developed to treat chronically suicidal individuals diagnosed with borderline personality disorder (BPD) and is now recognized as the gold standard psychological treatment for this population. In addition, research has shown that it is effective in treating a wide range of other disorders such as substance dependence, depression, post -traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), and eating disorders.
This group is appropriate for adults with long standing difficulty with strong emotions, impulse control, and self destructive behaviors. The group is designed to be 24 weeks covering 4 modules: mindfulness, emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness. Because this is an educational skills based group, clients are required to be in individual therapy as a condition of group membership.
