A check on observing and describing what is here, without a trial attached.
About this test
Marsha Linehan's dialectical behavior therapy organizes skills into mindfulness, distress tolerance, emotion regulation, and interpersonal effectiveness. These items ask you to notice, name, ride a spike, or make a clean request. The percent is how often the answer matched the skill. DBT was built for people in intense pain. This page is education in the skills, not therapy and not a diagnosis.
