DBT Diary Card & Skills Coach

Description:

DBT Diary Card and Skills Coach is based on the principles of Dialectical Behaviour Therapy (DBT) and is intended to be used as an additional tool, alongside face-to-face therapy, to treat both borderline personality disorders and substance misuse. DBT teaches you four sets of skills: mindfulness skills, distress tolerance skills, emotion regulation and interpersonal effectiveness skills. Details about each of these skills are included in the app, as well as a coaching module relating to each of the skills. You can complete traditionally paper-based 'diary cards' using the application - and focus on behaviours relevant to you. A contact email is provided for users who require additional support using the program. It is available for iPhone, iPod Touch and iPad users.
