Dialectical Behaviour Therapy for Adolescents Overview
DBT-A is a skills-based therapy designed to help adolescents manage intense emotions, improve relationships, and make thoughtful, goal-directed decisions. Rooted in cognitive-behavioral principles and mindfulness, DBT-A emphasizes four skill modules: mindfulness, distress tolerance, emotion regulation, and interpersonal effectiveness.
Adolescents learn to recognize emotional triggers, reduce impulsive or self-harming behaviors, and develop healthier coping mechanisms.
Research indicates DBT-A is particularly effective for teens with emotion dysregulation, self-harm, borderline traits, or chronic interpersonal conflict. In Saudi Arabia, DBT-A can be adapted to address cultural norms around emotional expression, family expectations, and gender-specific social pressures, while emphasizing skill generalization in daily life, school, and peer interactions.
