Originally developed for treating self-injury among women with borderline personality disorder, research shows that acceptance-based emotion regulationtherapy is effective in treating emotion dysregulation and related psychiatric symptoms and self-destructive behaviors in a wide range of clients.
Acceptance-Based Emotion Regulation Therapy offers an empirically supported protocol that addresses all key dimensions of emotion regulation using evidence-based strategies drawn from dialectical behavior therapy (DBT), acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT), and emotion-focused therapy (EFT), as well as basic behavioral principles—resulting in a treatment that is more targeted and far briefer than comprehensive DBT.
With this comprehensive protocol, you'll be fully equipped to treat psychiatric symptoms stemming from emotion dysregulation, self-destructive behaviors serving an emotion-regulating function, and emotion dysregulation more broadly.
If you've been searching for an emotion regulation therapy that efficiently and effectively targets all the core dimensions of emotion dysregulation driving your clients' symptoms and clinical difficulties, this guide has everything you need.
