Numerous research studies suggest that CBT leads to significant improvement in functioning and quality of life. In many studies, CBT has been demonstrated to be as effective as, or more effective than, other forms of psychological therapy or psychiatric medications. (APA website) Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT) is an CBT and adapted form of CBT. It combines respected psychological change strategies with training in mindful awareness, along with a strong emphasis on DBT acceptance of oneself, one’s problems, and the broader realities of the present moment. Originally developed as an intervention for suicidal women, and widely used to treat borderline personality disorder, DBT is now applied in working with a variety of mental health problems and is especially effective for clients who have difficulty managing and regulating their emotions.
