About the Course:
Dialectical behavior therapy (DBT) is a structured outpatient treatment developed by Dr Marsha Linehan for the treatment of borderline personality disorder (BPD). Dialectical behavior therapy is based on cognitive- behavioral principles and is currently the only empirically supported treatment for BPD. Given the often comorbid psychiatric symptoms with BPD in patients participating in DBT, psychopharmacologic interventions are oftentimes considered appropriate adjunctive care. This article aims to outline the basic principles of DBT as well as comment on the role of pharmacotherapy as adjunctive treatment for the symptoms of BPD. The second article in this course looks at the use of Virtual Reality with DBT.
This course is based on the article, Dialectical behavior therapy as treatment for borderline personality disorder created by Jennifer M. May, MD et al. created in 2016 and the article The Use of Virtual Reality to Facilitate Mindfulness Skills Training in Dialectical Behavioral Therapy for Borderline Personality Disorder: A Case Study by Maria V. Navarro-Haro, et al in 2016.
