DBT (Dialectical Behavioral Therapy), evolved out of CBT (Cognitive Behavioral Therapy), developed by Dr. Marsha M. Linehan. DBT was originally designed for treating people with Borderline Personality Disorder (BPD). Now, many people enjoy the benefits of DBT. DBT is also used for people with self-harm behaviors, suicide thoughts, urges to suicide, and suicide attempts. It also helps with binge-eating, depression, suicidal teens, and older clients who get depressed again and again.
