Abstract
  • Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) is a cognitive-behavioral psychotherapy approach developed for the treatment of women struggling with Borderline Personality Disorder (BPD). Derived from classical Cognitive Behavior Therapy (CBT), DBT emerged to treat patterns of behavior seen in female patients with BPD who were difficult for therapists to treat, such as chronic suicidal ideation, lack of motivation in treatment and self-injurious behaviors. Sine it’s development, Dialectical Behavior Therapy has been used to treat a variety of psychological disorders present in adults, such as PTSD in sexual assault victims, substance abuse issues, traumatic brain injuries, eating disorders, and mood disorders such as Major Depressive Disorder and Bipolar Disorder. Continual research is being conducted to determine the effectiveness of DBT across different age groups and psychological disorders. Current literature supports the argument that Dialectical Behavior Therapy principles are able to be adapted to effectively treat both adolescents and children struggling with chronic suicidal ideation and self-injurious behaviors similar to the patients it was originally adapted to treat, as well as adolescents suffering from different psychopathologies stemming from underlying emotion dysregulation issues.
