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.

This chapter provides a guide to continued family problem solving. It begins with a review of skills learned earlier in treatment as well as progress with the initial family issues they have begun to address. It provides a strategy for picking the next family problem to target, with an emphasis on giving the family more independence during problem solving exercises. The chapter discusses the parents’ inadvertent potential to reinforce OCD behavior in their behaviors and in their speech. Parents who are particularly anxious may have difficulty managing their emotions in the moment, even though they understand the concept of modeling. The chapter provides strategies for helping these parents navigate OCD-related situations that may trigger their anxiety. Focus of the chapter continues to skills training in emotion regulation, including in-session practice exercises and discussion of the importance of modelling healthy responses to anxiety.

Abstract Background Emotion regulation difficulties appear to play a role in the development and maintenance of several eating disorders. This pilot study aimed at examining whether a short add-on group skills training in emotion regulation for young adults with different eating disorders was feasible in a psychiatric clinical setting. We also investigated if the treatment increased knowledge of emotions, and decreased self-reported difficulties with emotion regulation, alexithymia, symptoms of eating disorder, anxiety and depression, as well as clinical impairment. Methods Six skills training groups were piloted with a total of 29 participants (M = 21.41 years, SD = 1.92). The treatment consisted of five sessions dealing with psychoeducation about emotions and emotion regulation skills training. Paired samples t-test was used to compare differences between before-and-after measures. Results The primary outcomes measures difficulties in emotion regulation (p <  0.001) and alexithymia (p <  0.001) showed significant improvement after treatment. The total eating disorder score (p = 0.009) was also significantly reduced, as was clinical impairment (p <  0.001). Acceptance/valued direction, identifying primary emotions and learning about secondary emotions was rated as especially helpful. Conclusions This preliminary pilot study showed that group training targeting emotion regulation skills was feasible and appreciated by participants, as well as being potentially promising as an adjunctive treatment for different eating disorders. Further controlled studies are needed. Trial registration The study was retrospectively registered NCT04148014 on October 30th 2019.

Basic Qualitative Study

A basic qualitative study examined the role of supervision in learning dialectical behavior therapy (DBT). Ten master's-level clinical mental health counseling interns completed in-depth interviews regarding their experiences of supervision when providing DBT skills training groups to adolescents in an inpatient psychiatric setting. Supervision was described as an activity in tandem with observation and shadowing, with the supervisor functioning as a consultant and teacher. Themes highlighted the importance of structure in mitigating trainee performance anxiety, and a focus on skills training during supervision. Implications for supervising counseling interns in evidence-based practices such as DBT are discussed.
