Those With Serious Mental Health Issues Can Be Helped Through Dialectical Behavioral Therapy
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy is one of the most firmly established types of psychotherapy commonly in practice, and one of the most effective as well. With its focus on helping patients recognize and become aware of the thought patterns that lead to destructive and unwanted moods and behaviors (such as depression), Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, employs specific goals and time frames to change people’s lives in a deeply positive way. Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT) is a newer form of CBT that has been shown to have success with some of the more serious mental health issues, even those -such as Borderline Personality Disorder (BPD) –that had been previously thought of as essentially untreatable.
