DBT =Dialectical behaviour therapy was first created for treating individuals with borderline personality disorder. However, some of the elements can be used for other disorders like anxiety and depression. I am not sure on the research base behind this though. DBT is a form of CBT however, it focuses a lot on mindfulness, acceptance and dialectical thinking. CBT has the most research base - which means more studies have been conducted that show significant improvement after treatment for anxiety sufferers. All the elements in this program are based on CBT.
