Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT)
Founded by Dr. Marsha Linehan, DBT is a branch of cognitive behavioral therapy. Though initially designed for treating highly suicidal people, research has shown its effectiveness in treating various groups, not limited to those with borderline personality disorder or acute suicidal tendencies. Its core dynamic merges change strategies with acceptance strategies. While these appear to conflict, amalgamating them is possible through dialectics.
