• Exposure response prevention (a subset of CBT) can treat Obsessive-compulsive disorder
• An evidence based therapy (EBT) which means it has been researched to be effective for the areas it treats

A spin-off from CBT, DBT uses skills based in mindfulness, distress tolerance, emotion regulation, and interpersonal effectiveness to improve responses to adverse situations and improve communication in relationships towards a life worth living. 

• Can be useful when CBT or other therapies alone are not helpful. 
• Primarily used for borderline personality disorder, but can be useful in other areas as well, such as eating disorders, anxiety, depression, and addiction, among other disorders.
