Yaşam Boyu Yaklaşımı Üzerinden Diyalektik Davranış Terapisi

This overview outlines dialectical behavioral therapy and its research findings from a lifespan perspective. Dialectical behavior-al therapy is an evidence-based therapy initially developed for adults with severe pathologies including borderline personlity disorder, self harm, and suicidality. However, it has since become a more comprehensive treatment model across wider popu-lations. For example, standard dialectical behavioral therapy treatment has been successfully adapted for children and adoles-cents, and been used as a successful prevention programme as well for intervention. Furthermore, recent advances in the use of empirically-supported treatments through a transdiagnostic approach have made dialectical behavioral therapy dissemina-tion and implementation practices more important. Focusing on current research and implementations of dialectical behavior-al therapy from a lifespan perspective and use of dialectical behavioral therapy for interventional or preventional purposes will contribute to the interested researchers and practitioners on its implications across developmental stages.
