Title: Dialectical behavior therapy Authors: Venue: Wikipedia Year: unknown Canonical: wiki:dialectical-behavior-therapy URL: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dialectical_behavior_therapy Collector: wikipedia OA: true ABSTRACT Dialectical behavior therapy (DBT) is an evidence-based psychotherapy that began with efforts to treat personality disorders and interpersonal conflicts. Evidence suggests that DBT can be useful in treating mood disorders and suicidal ideation as well as for changing behavioral patterns such as self-harm and substance use. DBT evolved into a process in which the therapist and client work with acceptance and change-oriented strategies and ultimately balance and synthesize them as comparable to the philosophical dialectical process of thesis and antithesis, followed by synthesis.
