DBT for Borderline Personality Disorder

AAccording to the DSM-V, symptoms of borderline personality disorder first emerge in adolescence and young adulthood. Without treatment, challenges can plague women for their entire lives. Mood swings, suicidal ideation, self-harm, low self-esteem and identity issues — all of these and more are indicators of BPD, and all can be successfully treated with comprehensive DBT.

In DBT, clients work through four modules to learn core skills: core mindfulness, interpersonal effectiveness, emotion regulation, and distress tolerance. Continued treatment is necessary in order to deeply integrate and maintain those skills, but it’s possible to find peace with the help of DBT.
