Dialectical Behavior Therapy

Dialectical behavior therapy (DBT) is a type of psychotherapy developed by Marsha Linehan in the late 1980s.[1] She envisioned it as a treatment for borderline personality disorder. But at Boca Recovery Center, we’ve used this therapy to help hundreds of people gain a deeper understanding of their addiction history and sober future.
