  1. A Summary of Dialectical Behavior Therapy Research, by Lisa Napolitano, Ph.D. www. drlisanapolitano.com

  2. About the author: Lisa Napolitano owns a private psychology practice group  in New York City that specializes in cognitive behavior therapy (CBT)and dialectical behavior therapy (DBT). She has completed advanced intensive training in DBT. Since it was first created in the 1990s for those suffering from Borderline Personality Disorder (BPD), DBT has been proven an effective method of treatment with benefits for a wide range of patients. Such patients include those with chronic self-injurious tendencies, substance abuse, and eating disorders. www. drlisanapolitano.com

  3. Perhaps the most research regarding DBT has been done in the area of BPD. A one-year trial of DBT with an additional year of follow-up done at the National Institute of Mental Health found that individuals with BPD who received DBT were 50% less likely to attempt suicide than those who did not. Moreover, they had a lower dropout rate for treatment and fewer visits to the emergency room. A study conducted at the University of Washington in 2010 indicated that the use of DBT skills was an important component in reducing anger management, depression, and suicidal behavior. Research in the realm of substance abuse has shown equally impressive results. www. drlisanapolitano.com

  4. A 1999 study that appeared in the American Journal on Addiction found that patients suffering from substance abuse who undergo DBT were less than half as likely to drop out of treatment compared with those who underwent treatment as usual. During a follow-up 16 months later, the DBT patients also improved drastically in global and social adjustment. In addition, DBT proves useful when dealing with eating disorders such as bulimia nervosa and binge eating. In a study published in the Journal of Consulting and Clinical Psychology in 2001, 89% of the women who received DBT and completed the course of treatment had completely stopped binge eating. www. drlisanapolitano.com
