Dialectical Behavioral Therapy
Dialectical behavior therapy (DBT) is a structured therapeutic method of psychotherapy with a strong educational component designed to provide skills for managing intense emotions and negotiating social relationships. This therapy method was developed to address self-destructive impulses of chronic suicidal patients, it is also the treatment of choice for borderline personality disorder, emotion dysregulation, and several other pychiatric conditions.
The “dialectic” in dialectical behavior therapy is an acknowledgment that real life is complex, and health is not a static thing, but an ongoing process. Implementing continuous Socratic dialogue with the self and others. The goal is aimed at balancing negative thoughts and behaviors while investigating the truth of powerful negative emotions.
DBT acknowledges the need for change in a context of acceptance of situations and recognizes the constant flux of feelings—many of them contradictory—without having to get caught up in them. Participants will understand and accept that thought is an inherently messy process. DBT is itself an interplay of science and practice.
