Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT): Where We Were, Where We Are and Where Are We Going

Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) is a trans-diagnostic modular behavioral intervention that integrates principles of behavioral science with those of Zen mindfulness practice to provide a synthesis of change and acceptance. UW Professor Marsha Linehan discusses how this behavioral intervention is one of the few treatments that has been replicated as effective for reducing risk of suicide and what to expect from the future of DBT.
