Context: Emotion regulation deficits are increasingly recognized as an underlying mechanism of many disorders. Dialectical behaviour therapy (DBT) holds potential as a transdiagnostic treatment for disorders with underlying emotion regulation deficits.Objective: Systematically review the evidence for DBT skills training groups as a transdiagnostic treatment for common mental health disorders via meta-analysis. Study Selection: Randomized control trials (RCTs) of DBT skills training groups for adults with common mental health disorders, and no comorbid personality disorder, were included. Data Synthesis: Twelve RCTs met inclusion criteria (N = 425 participants). DBT had a moderate-to-large effect on symptom reduction (g = 0.79, 95% CI [0.52, 1.06], p < .0001). Improvements in emotion regulation yielded a small-to-moderate effect (g = 0.48, 95% CI [0.22, 0.74], p < .01). Results showed significant effects of DBT on depression (g = 0.50, 95% CI [0.25, 0.75], p = .002), eating disorders (g = 0.83, 95% CI [0.49, 1.17], p = .001) and anxiety (g = 0.45, 95% CI [0.08, 0.83], p = .03).Conclusions: Findings suggest DBT is an effective treatment for common mental health disorders and may be considered as a promising transdiagnostic therapy.

Friedman Analysis

Purpose The purpose of this paper is to determine the effectiveness of an adapted dialectical behaviour therapy (DBT) treatment programme for individuals with an intellectual disability, via completion of a service evaluation. Design/methodology/approach Outcome measurements were competed at pre-, post- and 12 months follow-up, and the effectiveness of the intervention was assessed using a Friedman analysis. Findings Findings demonstrated that the treatment group showed significant differences in their “psychological distress” scores, but no significant differences were found in their “psychological well-being”, “anxiety” or “quality of life” (WHO-QOL) scores over time. Originality/value Overall, the current study adds to the small but growing literature that supports using the skills training group part of DBT as a stand-alone psychological intervention when working with people with an intellectual disability.

Flexible Thinking

Dialectics are a cornerstone of dialectical behaviour therapy (DBT; Linehan, 1993), and are considered an essential component of treating emotion dysregulation. Incorporating dialectics may enhance therapeutic collaboration, increase flexible thinking, and maximize solution generation. This chapter briefly describes a dialectical world view, then lays out steps for incorporating dialectics into a therapy session, including adopting a dialectical world view, maintaining balance in treatment, working toward synthesis whenever polarization occurs, and utilizing dialectical strategies. Dialectical strategies are any strategies that involve looking for what is left out, synthesizing two poles, and allowing the synthesis to move the interaction forward to a new position. These strategies include magnifying the tension between opposites (such as devil’s advocate and extending strategies), entering the paradox (such as ‘and versus but’ and ‘making lemonade out of lemons’ strategies), and the use of metaphors. While these strategies were developed within DBT, other treatments utilize dialectical approaches, as well.

Ongoing Assessment

This chapter discusses and illustrates how behavioural theory and science guide many aspects of Dialectical Behaviour Therapy (DBT). Behavioural theory informs the DBT approach to case formulation, the ongoing assessment of behaviour throughout therapy, and the selection, implementation, and evaluation of evidence-based interventions. As described later in this chapter, behavioural theory also influences the style and “flavour” of DBT sessions. As the focus of the first stage of DBT often focuses on the treatment of suicidal and self-injurious behaviour, the chapter emphasizes these behaviours via several examples, and also touches upon some other common behaviours targeted in DBT.
