Dialectical behavior therapy (DBT) is a treatment methodology that provides patients with treatment options especially when they are faced with anorexia nervosa and other eating disorders. In most cases, some of those patients are also having challenges in their social lives, and this could lead to a weak personality and borderline personality disorder, prompting the approach to be used. Some therapists have used the approach successfully to treat bulimia, binge eating, post-traumatic stress disorder, and substance abuse and thus its utility can cut across many disorders. Treatment using the approach involves mindfulness, emotion regulation, and interpersonal effectiveness.
