DIALECTICAL BEHAVIORAL THERAPY (DBT)
Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT) is a research-based, cognitive-behavioral treatment originally developed by Marsha Linehan at the University of Washington, to help clients with the suicidal and self-harm behaviors often seen in Borderline Personality Disorder. DBT has since then been modified as a treatment for other complex and challenging disorders that involve emotional dysregulation, such as dual diagnoses, bi-polar disorders, PTSD, eating disorders and severe mood disorders. Clients with these problems often have great difficulty managing the emotional and relational crises of their lives because they lack the needed behavioral coping skills. |
|
| New Perspectives offers DBT informed individual psychotherapy on a limited basis. DBT treatment is most effective when it includes individual therapy and a weekly skills training group. NPCC therapists who offer DBT informed psychotherapy refer clients to DBT Skills Training Groups outside the center. We refer clients to the following groups, led by NPCC trainers and supervisors: |
