Dialectical Behaviour Therapy

Dialectical Behaviour Therapy (DBT) is a psychological intervention which was originally developed for women with Borderline Personality Disorder.

Group skills are delivered in blocks of three modules which teach mindfulness, distress tolerance, emotion regulation and interpersonal effectiveness. The three modules are delivered over a 24-week period and are then repeated.
