behavioral therapy

The first line of treatment for borderline personality disorder is dialectical behavioral therapy, a talk therapy centered on examining and countering negative emotions.

After that, Nelson began dialectical behavioral therapy and credits it with a turnaround.

One study revealed that only 16% of health care professionals had working knowledge about evidence-based lifestyle treatments for obesity, including diet and nutrition, physical activity and intensive behavioral therapy referral.

The other side of the equation is addressing a person’s attitudes and thought patterns about social interactions through cognitive behavioral therapy.

What also sets this study apart from others in the literature is the use of physical interventions to improve stress physiology in young children in a low-resource context, instead of psychosocial measures like behavioral therapy or parental coaching.
