Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT) is designed to help adults struggling with regulating their emotional responses and who often act on impulsive behaviors. This skills-training program is used in conjunction with regular therapy. DBT also assumes that people who suffer intense emotional discomfort frequently engage in self-destructive and avoidance behaviors. A central principle of DBT is that acceptance of emotional pain eventually decreases that pain. The program is targeted at decreasing self-destructive,
suicidal and impulsive behaviors.
