Answer: DBT
◉ Borderline
Basically, DBT maintains that some people, due to invalidating
environments during upbringing and due to biological factors as yet
unknown, react abnormally to emotional stimulation. Their level of
arousal goes up much more quickly, peaks at a higher level, and
takes more time to return to baseline. This explains why borderlines
are known for crisis-strewn lives and extreme emotional lability
(emotions that shift rapidly). Because of their past invalidation, they
do not have any methods for coping with these sudden, intense
surges of emotion. DBT is a method for teaching skills that will help
in this task. The treatment itself is based largely on behaviorist
theory with some cognitive therapy elements as well. There are two
essential parts of the treatment, and without either of these parts
the therapy is not considered "DBT adherent."
