What symptoms and diagnoses are DBT and RO-DBT useful for?
DBT (Dialectical Behavior Therapy) and RO-DBT (Radically Open Dialectical Behavior Therapy) are both evidence-based behavioral and cognitive-behavioral therapies, but they’re designed for different kinds of emotional and behavioral challenges.

What is Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT)?
Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) is a type of cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT) developed by Dr. Marsha Linehan in the late 1980s. It was initially designed to treat individuals with borderline personality disorder (BPD) and suicidal ideation, but it has since been adapted for use with a variety of mental health conditions, such as depression, anxiety, PTSD, eating disorders, and substance use disorders.
