Dialectical Behavior Therapy
Dialectical Behavior Therapy is an evidence-based treatment designed to treat complex behavioral and emotional concerns, specifically suicidal thoughts, urges, behavior, and non-suicidal self-injury.
The National Institutes of Health, the American Psychological Association, and others consider it the gold standard treatment for Borderline Personality Disorder and emotion dysregulation. In 2011, DBT was cited as one of the 100 most important modern scientific discoveries by Time Magazine.
