What is RO-DBT?
Radically Open Dialectical Behaviour Therapy (RO-DBT) is a relatively new evidencebased treatment for patients with emotional over-control. Excessive self-control is associated with social isolation and poor interpersonal relations and it contributes to conditions like anorexia nervosa, obsessive-compulsive personality disorder, chronic depression and Autism Spectrum.
Assessment Process
