Key Points
- DBT is widely regarded as the gold standard for treating borderline personality disorder and has demonstrated effectiveness in treating a variety of other disorders, including mood, anxiety, trauma, substance use, and some psychotic disorders.
- DBT’s effectiveness across multiple disorders is partially due to the high comorbidity of borderline personality disorder with other conditions.
- The core DBT skills are versatile and applicable to a wide range of disorders, whether they involve dysregulation (like borderline) or overregulation (like OCD or anorexia).
