Dialectical behavior therapy for comorbid personality disorders
Overview
This paper discusses an adaptation of dialectical behavior therapy (DBT) designed to address overcontrolled, emotionally constricted, and perfectionistic disorders, which contrast with the emotional dysregulation typically targeted by standard DBT. The authors illustrate this approach through a case study involving a patient with comorbid paranoid personality disorder and obsessive-compulsive personality disorder. The resource is intended for clinicians interested in applying modified DBT techniques to complex, rigid behavioral patterns.
