[QUOTE="exhausted, post: 491006, member: 11001"] Here is the website we use to refresh skills and get ideas [url=http://www.dbtselfhelp.com/html/linehan_dbt.html]Linehan DBT[/url] My daughter did DBT at last Residential Treatment Center (RTC) (it was a DBT residential but she also did 3 months in the day treatment there. It was a state fascility. There are also private pay teen groups all over. It is intensive, requires some committment and is not a be all. But when clients use it, it works. DBT is Dialectical Behavioral Therapy. It teaches a skill set that to many of us would seem like plain good coping and social skills, but to people with Borderline (BPD), they struggle with these skills as their brains are not wired like ours- way more sensitive, perceptive. It requires deliberate application and practice. There is usually a person on call that handles 'crisis" by walking clients through a skill and it's steps. Many therapists are trained but many don't use it because it requires such a therapist/client committment that is hard to maintain. It is work in short. I think only really committed therapists can make it work. Most run a support group that is part of the overall treatment. It can take several years for things to fall in place for most Borderline (BPD) clients. It is a behavioral therapy and the research has always said that this kind of therapy and management works as long as someone maintains control-it only changes people who want to change. I do think personality disorders are tough-but some of these people do want to change. There is documented success with DBT. In teens there is some leveling out in their mid 20s. I think that these are misdiagnosed and that it has more to do with the frontal cortex developing (my belief only). In the general population, they see another leveling out in the midthirties and clients report that they are sick of the pain and suffering and want to change their lives. The people who do the best are those who have a support network. [/QUOTE]
