Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Dialectical behavior therapy (DBT) was specifically developed to treat individuals with borderline personality disorder (BPD) who struggle with emotion regulation and impulsive behaviors such as self-harm and suicide attempts. DBT emphasizes a combination of individual therapy, group skills training, phone coaching, and therapist consultation meetings to help individuals learn coping skills and regulate their emotions in a healthy way. The other options, electroconvulsive therapy (A), rational emotive therapy (B), and stress management therapy (C), are not commonly used to treat BPD and are not specifically tailored to address the unique challenges of this disorder.
