Thanks for writing so soon, Gabyunbound. CBT and DBT are not the same. CBT is Cognitive Behavioral Therapy. Dr. David Burns has written a lot about it, maybe even created this mode of therapy. DBT on the other hand is Dialectical Behavioral Therapy, and was invented by Marcia Linehan for people with borderline personality disorder. Now DBT is also used for bipolar. Not sure if it's used for any other disorders. I have twice tried Linehan's methods -- once in a DBT group with an ice-queen therapist who had studied directly with Linehan. Years later, I took a few individual sessions with a man who was also cold as ice and had studied with Linehan. Makes me wonder how Linehan can justify creating people like that. I like CBT (cognitive,etc), but have not been successful at preventing reactivity.
