Abstract

Dialectical Behaviour Therapy (DBT) has been considered effective evidence based psychotherapy for Borderline Personality Disorder in eight randomized clinical trials. This narrative review provides a brief overview of the treatment and purports to inquire into the dialectical philosophy
of DBT and examine the dialectical and core strategies for potential mediators of change: few of those aspects that are unique to this treatment.
