Dialectical behavior therapy (DBT) is used to treat personality disorders. It is a form of psychotherapy that incorporates cognitive-behavioral approaches with a mindful consciousness. In addition to behavior, cognitive therapy focuses on thoughts and beliefs. It is the first treatment that has proven effective in treating borderline personality disorder. DBT is especially useful for people with a borderline personality disorder, suicidal ideation, or self-harm tendencies, helping sufferers develop a more vigilant, flexible, and adaptable viewpoint. This book explains how to achieve this using four modules. Two of them concentrate on promoting greater acceptance, while the other two focus on changes in behavior to facilitate healing.
