Goals of Radically Open Dialectical Behavior Therapy

Some of the goals of radically open dialectical behavior therapy (RO DBT) that differ from traditional dialectical behavior therapy (DBT) include:

  • Encourage independence of action and opinion, emphasize self-enquiry and self-discovery
  • Primary therapeutic focus is external: social-signaling, openness, and social connectedness skills
  • Teach clients to increase openness, flexible responding, enhance social connectedness, and vulnerable expression of emotion
  • Emphasize self-enquiry and self-discovery rather than impulse control
  • Target bio-temperament with specific skills via activation of neural substrates
