Further research is needed in order to conclude regarding the effectiveness of DBT in improving ER difficulties. Furthermore, high variability across DBT programs and a lack of investigation regarding adherence and participant engagement within interventions was observed.
The literature is compromised by significant methodological limitations increasing risk of bias across study outcomes.
Current evidence indicates that DBT does not show consistent benefits relative to existing psychological treatments in improving ER difficulties. A qualitative synthesis of studies investigating the effectiveness of DBT on self-reported ER difficulties as measured by the Difficulties in Emotion Regulation Scale (DERS) was performed, identifying eligible studies using PsycINFO, PubMed, MEDLINE and EMBASE databases. This review aims to investigate and evaluate the current evidence to understand the effectiveness of DBT in improving ER difficulties. While dialectical behaviour therapy (DBT) appears efficacious in reducing suicidal and self-harming behaviour, it is unclear whether DBT reduces emotion regulation (ER) difficulties, a purported mechanism of change of treatment. Accordingly, DBT teaches emotion regulation skills to effectively understand, tolerate and regulate emotions, and some researchers have suggested that one.
