AI Article Synopsis
- The study explored how skills learned in Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) can influence behavior change, particularly in relation to alcohol and substance use.
- Researchers analyzed data from 48 individuals in a community mental health facility receiving DBT, focusing on different skills domains' effects on urges related to substance use.
- Findings indicated that emotion regulation and mindfulness skills reduced urges for those with higher substance use, highlighting the potential of DBT skills in managing urges, while also suggesting a need for further research on effectiveness variations among different skills domains.
Article Abstract
: Skills learned in Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) are a proposed mechanism that prompts behavior change. Few studies have examined the effects of DBT skills on treatment outcomes. No published studies have examined the effects of DBT skills on alcohol and substance use outcomes. : This study examined 48 individuals in a community mental health facility that delivers DBT-adherent treatment. Utilizing intake data and diary cards, multilevel model analyses were conducted to examine the effects each DBT skills domain had on urges for participants that entered treatment with varying frequencies of alcohol and substance use. : Emotion regulation and mindfulness skills domains were related to decreased urges for individuals that entered treatment with high frequencies of alcohol and substance use. Previous-day distress tolerance skills were associated with decreased urges and previous-day interpersonal effectiveness skills were associated with decreased urges for individuals that entered treatment with high frequencies of substance use. : DBT skills may be a helpful mechanism to decrease urges for individuals that use alcohol and other substances. However, more research on why certain skills domains may be more effective is needed.

Adolescence is characterized by heightened emotion dysregulation, impulsivity, and engagement in high-risk behaviors, such as substance use, violence, and unprotected sexual activity. Dialectical Behavioral Therapy for Adolescents (DBT-A) is an evidence-based intervention that targets emotion regulation and impulsivity among adolescents, proven effective at decreasing high-risk behaviors. However, limited research exists on adolescents' perceptions of DBT-A, particularly in schools.

Standard tobacco treatment may not effectively address the psychological distress and/or emotion dysregulation that makes quitting smoking difficult for many patients. Dialectical Behavior Therapy-Skills Training (DBT-ST) has demonstrated efficacy as a brief intervention for managing emotions and stress across varied populations but has not been adapted for patients with cancer who smoke.

Introduction: Third-generation therapies (TGTs) have been shown to be effective in the treatment of substance use behaviors in college-aged adolescents. These therapies are based on acceptance, mindfulness and psychological flexibility, which enable young people to change their Psychoactive Substance Use (PSU)-related behaviours, develop coping skills to manage difficult emotions and thoughts, reduce experiential avoidance and maintain long-term abstinence.
Objective: To explore the implementation and potential benefits of third-generation therapies, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Dialectical Behaviour Therapy (DBT) and Mindfulness, for the treatment of PSU in college youth.
