Program Description:
The Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT) Approach to treatment applies research about emotions and their management to treatment. This approach is heavily based upon principles of behavior and cognitive therapy. DBT works by helping clients find balance in emotion, thoughts, behavior and/or choices. Clients are taught, as well as shown how to live in balance. Following a year of comprehensive DBT treatment, many clients no longer meet criteria for the diagnosis, and these results are shown to last beyond five years in the follow up studies done to date.
Clients are moved beyond their symptoms through the artful balance of “validation” (relentless compassion and acceptance of the client) and effective technologies of change (primarily cognitive, behavioral, and mindfulness strategies).
