	BORDERLINE PERSONALITY DISORDER - FROM THE INSIDE OUT - DBT In The Treatment of BPD
		Dialectical behavior therapy, however, is one psychosocial treatment that has been shown in some controlled clinical trials to be effective in treating BPD, specifically with individuals who are chronically parasuicidal (Linehan, Heard, and Armstrong, 1993).
		DBT appeared to improve life in a number of areas of functioning, but it was not enough to normalize functioning (Shearin and Linehan, 1994).
		In the beginning of therapy, sessions are focused on orienting the borderline individual on the nature of dialectical behavior therapy, and the client must commit to undertake the work for a specified period of time and attend all scheduled therapy sessions.

		The dialectical world view is apparent in the three pairs of 'dialectical dilemmas' already described, in the goals of therapy and in the attitudes and communication styles of the therapist which are to be described.

	Aapel - Dialectical Behavior Therapy
		DBT has since been adapted for other seemingly intractable behavioral disorders involving emotion dysregulation, including substance dependence in individuals with BPD and binge eating, to other clinical populations (e.g., depressed, suicidal adolescents), and to a variety of settings (e.g., inpatient, partial hospitalization, forensic).
		DBT is based on a combined capability deficit and motivational model of BPD which states that (1) people with BPD lack important interpersonal, self-regulation (including emotional regulation) and distress tolerance skills, and (2) personal and environmental factors often both block and/or inhibit the use of behavioral skills that clients do have, and reinforce dysfunctional behaviors.
		DBT is designed to treat individuals with BPD at all levels of severity and complexity of disorders and is conceptualized as occurring in stages.

	The difference between Dialectical Behavior Therapy and "regular" therapy? (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-18)
		DBT appears to address most directly the fragmentation of experience that is the central theme of Lost in the Mirror.
		DBT is directed at achieving balance between such mutually exclusive options and learning to accept and value oneself in the present while still being open to making changes that will make life more fulfilling.
		Whatever the technique, however, when therapy is done well, it validates the individual and his or her feelings in the present and encourages change when current responses are not effective in bringing a situation to a satisfying conclusion.

	Popular Therapies
		Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) was developed by Marsha Linehan, Ph.D., a clinical psychologist at the University of Washington in Seattle.
		DBT seeks to restore balance, validating feelings and perceptions by acknowledging their logic within the framework of the patient's experience, while at the same time encouraging change in patterns of behavior that don't work.
		DBT is therefore more labor-intensive than most other forms of treatment and is ideally provided by a team of clinicians who can both share the task and provide one another support and validation.
