Popis: Dialectical behaviour therapy is a form of cognitive behaviour therapy that applies principles of learning to elicit the reasons and the strengthening factors behind maladaptive behaviours and alternate them with more healthy and helpful skills. The present study aims to assess the efcacy of brief dialectical behaviour therapy for borderline personality traits with cyber-victimisation. As a single experimental design, 20 years aged young female, diagnosed with borderline personality traits along with cyber-victimisation was taken up for the study. Borderline traits and cyber-victimisation were targeted maladaptive behaviours. The intervention was given for the duration of 8 weeks, during which DBT in a brief format consisting of mindfulness skills, emotion regulation skills, interpersonal effectiveness skills and distress tolerance skills was given. The sessions were based on weekly basis with each being 60 minutes session. Follow after a month revealed greater reduction in the targeted maladaptive behaviours. The study reveals that brief DBT is effective in reducing borderline personality traits and cyber-victimisation.
