Frequently Asked Questions
What is DBT therapy used for?
Developed at the University of Washington by Marsha Linehan, Ph.D., Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) was originally developed to treat interpersonal chaos, intense emotional swings, impulsiveness, confusion about the self (identity), and suicidal behavior. It is based on a bio-social theory that states that problems develop from the interaction of biological factors (physiological makeup) and environmental factors (learning history), which together create difficulty managing emotions. DBT is therefore appropriate for a range of additional problems that relate to emotion dysregulation, including substance use problems, disordered eating behaviors, and anger-related problems. A great deal of research has been conducted on the effectiveness of DBT, and in general, DBT appears as effective or more effective than other psychotherapies for the problems mentioned above.
To reach the ultimate goal of DBT, creating a life worth living, the therapy balances validation with changing problem behavior. DBT aims to help change the behavioral, emotional, and thinking patterns associated with problems in everyday life, while promoting the development of a wise mind.
