Abstract
La Terapia Dialéctica Conductual (TDC) es un
tratamiento desarrollado para pacientes con Trastorno
Límite de la Personalidad (TLP). En la TDC se
combinan técnicas de terapia de la conducta con
principios de aceptación de la realidad derivados
del Zen y de la filosofía dialéctica. La TDC es una
terapia multi-modal que incluye 4 componentes:
terapia individual, entrenamiento grupal en habilidades,
soporte telefónico y un grupo de consulta
para los terapeutas. Como lo demuestran
distintos ensayos clínicos controlados y aleatorizados,
la TDC es hoy en día el único tratamiento
para el TLP que ha sido suficientemente investigado
como para considerarse basado en la evidencia.
La TDC también ha sido adaptada para
el tratamiento de otras patologías vinculadas a la
disregulación emocional, lo que ha contribuido a
ampliar su aplicación a otras poblaciones clínicas.
En este sentido, el entrenamiento en habilidades
también se aplica como componente único de
tratamiento, acumulando cada vez más evidencia
en relación a su eficacia. En el presente artículo se
exponen los principios básicos de la terapia y se
realiza una revisión de sus aplicaciones clínicas y
así como de la evidencia empírica disponible hasta
el momento
Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) is a treatment developed for patients with borderline personality disorder diagnosis (BPD). DBT combines behavior therapy with reality acceptance principles derived from Zen and dialectical philosophy. DBT is a multi-modal treatment with 4 components: individual therapy, skills training, phone consultation and consultation team for therapists. Today, there are several randomized controlled clinical trials proving enough evidence as to consider that DBT is an empirically based treatment for BPD. DBT has also been adapted for the treatment of other clinical populations characterized by emotional dysregulation. The skills training component of the therapy has begin to be used as a standalone treatmentent and evidence in regard to its efficacy is still growing. In this article we resume the principles and structure of DBT and review its clinical applications and empirical data
