It's an adaptation of cognitive behavior therapy designed for borderline, suicidal, and self injurious patients. It combines CBT with eastern philosophy (mindfulness, wise mind, etc.). It also has some components relating to dealing with this group of patients (for instance, they encourage calls between sessions rather than discourage them). I wouldn't change my current therapist, but I wouldn't mind learning emotional regulation and distress tolerance skills which seem to be central to DBT. I've got the book, the training manual, and both videos and I'm trying to learn what is useful to me from those. Of course, since I'm doing it on my own, I sort of stop and start with it depending on my mood. That would be the point of doing it in a group, I think.
Of course I could tell you more, far more, about it. :) But I won't bore you. But I am interested in seeing if it's useful in the real world, with real people.
