Dialectical behaviour therapy (<scp>DBT</scp>) in the treatment of borderline personality disorder
Overview
This paper outlines dialectical behaviour therapy (DBT) as a widely studied, multi-component treatment for borderline personality disorder (BPD), developed in the early 1990s. It describes DBT's structure, including skills training and individual therapy, and notes that while many trials support its usefulness, outcome measures often focus on behavioral outcomes like self-harm. The resource also mentions that two Cochrane reviews suggest more robust evidence is needed to fully support DBT for BPD management.
