Dialectical Behavior Therapy for Adolescents
Dialectical Behavior Therapy for Adolescents (DBT-A) is an adaptation of DBT® designed for adolescents ages 13–18 with difficulty regulating their emotions. DBT-A aims to help adolescents “build a life worth living” by developing the skills needed to change patterns in their behaviors, emotions, thoughts, and interpersonal relationships. DBT-A’s approach is grounded in the idea that two seemingly opposing facts can both be true, most notably that the goals of therapy include both acceptance and change. A team of DBT-A providers, including therapists and skills trainers, strives to help adolescents both accept themselves and make changes in their behavior.
DBT-A includes up to six key components: (1) individual therapy, (2) optional family therapy, (3) between-session telephone coaching for adolescents and their family members, (4) optional parent training sessions, (5) therapist consultation team meetings, and (6) multifamily group skills training. During individual therapy, adolescents and therapists establish target behaviors to increase or decrease (e.g., increasing self-respect and decreasing substance use) and identify alternative behaviors to use in specific situations. During optional family therapy, therapists aim to help adolescents resolve family conflict and crises and to orient family members to treatment goals and ways to create a supportive home environment. During the between-session telephone coaching, each adolescent and their family members receive in-the-moment support 24 hours a day to help adolescents avoid harmful behaviors and use new skills. During the optional parent training sessions, parents can access individual training or a separate group skills training module designed to reinforce their parenting skills. During the therapist consultation team meetings, therapists and skills trainers discuss any implementation challenges and receive support designed to improve their capacity to treat adolescents.
During the multifamily group skills training component, skills trainers teach behavioral skills to groups of adolescents and their family members over five modules: (1) mindfulness, (2) distress tolerance, (3) emotion regulation, (4) interpersonal effectiveness, and (5) walking the middle path. The mindfulness and distress tolerance modules focus on building acceptance-oriented skills while the emotion regulation and interpersonal effectiveness modules focus on building change-oriented skills. In the mindfulness module, skills trainers emphasize accepting current circumstances and being present. In the distress tolerance module, skills trainers instruct adolescents on how to accept and tolerate painful situations without engaging in harmful behaviors such as substance use. In the emotion regulation module, skills trainers focus on helping adolescents learn to be less susceptible to painful emotions. In the interpersonal effectiveness module, skills trainers teach adolescents to ask for what they want, to say no when necessary, and to maintain respectful relationships with themselves and others. Finally, the walking the middle path module strives to help participants and their family members realize that there are multiple ways to view a problem and develop behavioral skills to deescalate and resolve family conflicts.
DBT-A is rated as a promising practice because at least one study achieved a rating of moderate or high on study design and execution and demonstrated a favorable effect on a target outcome.

Target Population
DBT-A is designed for adolescents ages 13–18 with difficulty regulating their emotions, including adolescents with characteristics associated with borderline personality disorder, suicidality, depression, posttraumatic stress disorder, bipolar disorder, and substance use disorders.
Dosage
Teams of therapists and skills trainers deliver DBT-A for between 24–52 weeks and can adapt the duration of the program depending on the adolescent’s needs. The six DBT-A components are designed to be delivered concurrently throughout the duration of the program.
Therapists and adolescents meet once a week for individual therapy sessions, typically lasting 50–60 minutes.
When therapists provide optional family therapy, they typically invite family members to join 3–4 of the adolescent’s individual therapy sessions. However, therapists can choose to divide the adolescent’s individual therapy sessions in half (individual therapy followed by family therapy) or to provide family therapy sessions at a separate time.
Therapists hold telephone coaching calls with adolescents as needed between individual therapy sessions. Adolescents can call their therapists 24 hours a day. Family members can also participate in telephone coaching calls with a different provider (e.g., the skills trainer or a therapist who is not working with their adolescent) as needed between multifamily group skills training sessions.
Two skills trainers typically deliver weekly sessions of 2–2.5 hours to groups of 3–5 families. Alternately, skills trainers can provide weekly group skills training sessions to groups of adolescents only, groups of family members only, or to each family individually. Skills trainers typically deliver the five skills modules over a 24-week period. Skills trainers start with 2 weeks of training on mindfulness and then provide 4 weeks of training on each of the other four skills (distress tolerance, emotional regulation, interpersonal effectiveness, and walking the middle path). Skills trainers also provide an additional 2 weeks of mindfulness training between each of these modules. For adolescents participating in 52 weeks of DBT-A, skills trainers complete a second cycle of the five skills modules. Skills trainers may offer maintenance sessions after participants have completed group skills training.
When therapists provide optional parenting training sessions, each family typically receives 6–12 individual sessions.
Therapist consultation teams, which include both therapists and skills trainers, meet weekly throughout the treatment period.
Location/Delivery Setting
Recommended Locations/Delivery Settings
Therapists and skills trainers typically deliver DBT-A in clinical settings, including therapists’ offices, outpatient clinics, and inpatient and residential treatment centers. DBT-A can also be delivered in schools.
Location/Delivery Settings Observed in the Research
- Hospital/Medical Center
Education, Certifications and Training
Therapists are typically licensed mental health professionals. Skills trainers are typically psychotherapists, counselors, case managers, social workers, other clinical staff, or psychiatric nurses. Others who have received DBT training can serve as skills trainers, such as teachers, paraprofessionals, and volunteers. DBT-A providers should have experience working with adolescents.
Therapists can go through an optional process to be a certified DBT clinician. The pre-requisites to become certified include having a graduate degree in a mental health-related field, a license to practice as an independent mental health practitioner, prior training in DBT and in mindfulness, and clinical experience delivering DBT individual therapy and telephone coaching. To receive certification, therapists must pass a written exam and an assessment of videotaped treatment sessions in which they deliver individual therapy.

Note: For the effect sizes and implied percentile effects reported in the table, a positive number favors the intervention group and a negative number favors the comparison group. Effect sizes and implied percentile effects were calculated by the Prevention Services Clearinghouse as described in the Handbook of Standards and Procedures, Version 1.0, Section 5.10.4 and may not align with effect sizes reported in individual publications. The Prevention Services Clearinghouse uses information reported in study documents and, when necessary, information provided by authors in response to author queries to assign study ratings and calculate effect sizes and statistical significance (see Section 7.3.2 in the Handbook of Standards and Procedures, Version 1.0). As a result, the effect sizes and statistical significance reported in the table may not align with the estimates as they are reported in study documents.
