Hva er dialektisk atferdsterapi? En kort oversikt
Sammanfattning
Dialectical behaviour therapy (DBT) is an
evidence-based treatment for adults with
repeated self-harm and borderline perso-
nality disorder and for self-harming adole-
scents with traits from the disorder. The
assumption that a core problem of regula-
ting emotions leads to dysregulated behav-
iour informs the treatment which consists
of elements from cognitive-behavioural
techniques and validation. The treatment
is principle-driven and partially manual
based. This paper intends to provide a brief
introduction to DBT and lists the evidence
for the full treatment programme as well
as some of the literature on adaptions.
Finally we discuss economic evaluations
as well as DBT in relation to other evidence
based treatments for borderline personality disorders.
