Abstract:
Dialectical behavior therapy (DBT) is one of the empirically supported therapeutic approaches for borderline personality disorder (BPD). By integrating behaviorism, dialectical philosophy, biosocial theory and Zen principles, DBT aims to enhance patients' emotional regulation, interpersonal effectiveness and distress tolerance, thereby alleviating BPD symptoms. This article systematically reviews the theoretical foundations of DBT and its research progress in BPD treatment, to Delve into the intervention effects of DBT, as well as the adjuvant role of pharmacotherapy and physiotherapy in enhancing DBT for BPD, and analyzes the challenges faced in DBT research and clinical application. The findings are expected to provide new insights for the localization and theoretical research of DBT in China.
