 DIALECTICAL BEHAVIOR THERAPY

● DBT was developed in the late 1980s by Dr. Marsha linehan and
colleagues when they discovered that cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT)
alone did not work as well as expected in patients with BPD or self
harm/suicide.

● Dialectical means “the existence of opposites” In DBT, people are taught

two seemingly opposite strategies: acceptance ( that their experiences and
behaviors are valid)and change (that they have to make positive changes
to manage emotions and move forward)

impact our behavior, even if we are not aware of them. By exploring
