Mapping Treatment Components to Targets in Dialectical Behavior Therapy
In Brief
A clinical study evaluating Dialectical behavior therapy - emotion regulation skills training, Dialectical behavior therapy - interpersonal effectiveness skills training, and 1 other intervention for Borderline Personality Disorder. Completed, enrolled 84 participants across 1 site.
Detailed Summary
Although dialectical behavior therapy (DBT) skills training is effective in the treatment of borderline personality disorder, it contains four skills modules and there is little research to guide their modular application. This study compares the unique effects of two distinct DBT skills training modules, relative to a non-DBT therapy group for adults with borderline personality disorder. Using innovative laboratory-based assessment methods, the proposed study will examine the effects of these conditions on emotional responding and interpersonal functioning, as well as clinical outcomes.
