Dialectical Behaviour Therapy: Key DBT Skills for Helping Clients with Emotion Regulation

Aim

Dialectical Behaviour Therapy (DBT) is a treatment based on an overarching concept of emotion dysregulation as the underlying reason for a client’s struggles in life. It has a cognitive behavioural therapy basis but with the incorporation of principles of dialectics and mindfulness.
