DBT is designed to treat patients at all levels of severity and complexity of disorders. In stage 1, DBT focuses on patient behaviors that are out of control. The treatment targets in stage 1 are: (a) reducing high-risk suicidal behaviors (parasuicide acts, including suicide attempts, high-risk suicidal ideation, plans, and threats); (b) reducing client and therapist behaviors that interfere with the therapy (e.g., missing, coming late to sessions, telephoning at unreasonable hours or otherwise pushing a therapist’s limits, not returning phone calls); (c)

reducing behavioral patterns serious enough to substantially interfere with any chance of a reasonable quality of life

(e.g., depression and other axis I disorders, homelessness, chronically losing relationships or jobs); and (d) acquisition of sufficient life skills to meet client goals (skills in emotion regulation, interpersonal effectiveness, distress tolerance, self-management, as well as mindfulness).

Subsequent to achieving behavioral control, it becomes possible to work on other important goals including (e) focusing on the ability to experience emotions without trauma (stage 2); (f) enhancing self-respect; (g) addressing problematic patterns in living that interfere with goals (stage 3); and (h) resolving feelings of incompleteness and enhancing the capacity for joy (stage 4). In sum, the orientation of the treatment is to first get action under control, then to help the patient to feel better, to resolve problems in living and residual disorder, and to find joy and, for some, a sense of transcendence.

·         Address the strengths and limitations of each.
·         Explain how the theory integrates the nursing process and is applicable at each level of prevention.
