If you’ve heard of Dialectical Behaviour Therapy (DBT) then you will have definitely heard of Marsha Linehan. A professor in both Psychology and Psychiatry, Marsha has become known worldwide for her development of new treatments for a range of disorders including drug use, borderline personality and suicidal behaviour.
With a wealth of research behind her, she has been presented with a range of awards and has made a fantastic impact on the lives of so many who benefit from her treatments. Her development of DBT has now been applied to a range of mental disorders across the world and has shown extremely effective results across multiple trials during research. The positive reaction from borderline personality patients means that it is now categorised as a gold-standard treatment.
Today, Linehan has written multiple books which talk about the treatment including manuals which focus on cognitive behavioural treatment and skills training. In addition to her books she has also authored and co authored a number of journals which have been cited and further backed be many other researchers.
To make her treatments accessible, Linehan has founded Behavioural Tech LLC which has developed both online and mobile technologies to facilitate this. This has been widely endorsed around the world and in particular, the UK has seen an increase in the interest of training in the treatment.
If you are in the United Kingdom and would like to learn more about the treatment or train in DBT skills, British Isles DBT is the sole licensed provider of Behavioral Tech’s Training Materials which have been developed in collaboration with Marsha Linehan.
