Dialectic Behaviour Therapy (DBT) is a biosocial type of cognitive behavioural therapy (Linehan, 1987) that combines client-centered empathy, acceptance, and understanding with cognitive behavioural problem solving and techniques to promote emotional regulation (Kring et al., 2014).
Radical acceptance isn't always appropriate or applicable for all situations. It's not about giving up or accepting that bad things just happen. But, in situations where we can share responsibility (and we often contribute some sort of role in creating a domino effect in a situation) we accept our involvement, decisions made, and can respond to how to respond
Our mood (emotions) cause behavioural reactions (Neacsiu et al., 2012)
Validation and acceptance helps to reduce emotional distress and behavioural dysfunction (Linehan, 2015)
Environmental factors contribute to our emotional state which results with a behavioural response (Neacsiu et al., 2012)
Conflict occurs when there’s polarization of internal forces that are not being understood and synthesized (Linehan, 2015).
(Mckay, Brantley, & Wood, 2007)
Therapist and client share power and are considered equals
(Rizvi et al., 2013)
Linehan (2015)
3 underlying theories; biosocial theory which posits that biological and environmental factors can contribbute to emotional regulation/dysregulation;
behavioural theory which assumes behaviour can be conditioned (classical and operant);
dialectics theory which posits that reality can be understood by interrelated opposing forces (there are many interpretations of reality that coexist, especially extremes, to produce change) (Linehan, 1987; Neacsiu et al., 2012; Rizvi et al., 2013)
Can be adapted to accommodated cultural backgrounds when following CRSJ framework
Consider possible barriers:
Still a lack of evidence regarding application of DBT in a variety of cultural settings. However, evidence shows that DBT can be successful when cultural considerations are accommodated
(Mercado & Hinojosa, 2017)
Identify the client’s situation and context
Ask: "How will the client benefit from mindfulness, distress tolerance, emotional regulation, and interpersonal effectiveness?"
Vulnerability Link (In what ways was I Vulnerable?)
-Skills should be taught in a timely manner (15-20 min intervals). Client contexts, abilities and attention span must be kept in mind as well
Connecting Link – can be thoughts or feelings, actions, impulses, people or places etc (What connected my triggers and Vulnerability?)
-Skills can be taught in a variety or contexts: groups and single settings, drop-in or continuous treatment scenarios, professional and home environments.
-Instruction can further be adapted for age, ability.
Triggers Link (What are my triggers?)
Connecting Link (What connected my triggers with the problem behaviour?)
Discuss the meaning and use of each skill in each situation
Problem Behaviour Link (What was the problem behaviour or related behaviour?)
3 skills from the DBT framework are then chosen to accommodate each of the links in the chain. A primary Meta Skill, a Secondary Skill, and lastly an Ancillary Skill
Clients are made to practice their skills in order to reliably use them during times of distress. Repetition and change of context during practice scenarios is integral to the client’s skill acquisition.
Clients may need additional motivational encouragement (offer hypothetical scenarios of radical change, pros and cons lists, rolling with resistance, etc.,)
Radical Acceptance as a Distress tolerance skill can be taught in various forms appropriate to the client’s preferred learning style (visual, kinesthetic etc.,).
Formats of instruction may include:
Kinesthetic Activities
Auditory Activities
Visual Activities
