Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) is a specific form of cognitive-behavioral psychotherapy developed in the late 1980s by psychologist Marsha M. Linehan to help improve the treatment of borderline personality disorder. Since its development, it has also been used to treat other types of mental disorders.
The Oxford Handbook of DBT traces the development of DBT from its early inception to the current cutting edge of knowledge regarding the theoretical foundations of the therapy and its clinical application across a range of disorders and adaptations to new clinical groups. Experts in the therapy discuss the current state of evidence regarding the therapy's effectiveness, its efficacy in everyday clinical practice, as well as central issues of the clinical and programmatic application of the therapy. Overall, this edition provides a reference guide for clinical professionals and academics looking to understand the roots and current state of the scientific and artistic side of DBT.
