Description:    DBT is an intensive outpatient form of treatment including three coordinated components: skills group training, individual therapy, and psychiatric services. The group provides training in the areas of interpersonal effectiveness, mindfulness, emotion regulation, and distress tolerance. DBT emphasizes the acceptance of individuals as they are while encouraging them and teaching them tools that will enable them to make changes in their life.  The group is intended for women, 18 years of age or older who (a) experience suicidal urges, (b) engage in impulsive behaviors that are potentially self-damaging, (c) experience an inadequate and unstable sense of self-image, and/or (d) experience unstable and unsatisfying relationships.
