RADICALLY OPEN
DIALECTICAL BEHAVIORAL THERAPY

Radically Open DBT is an evidence-based treatment targeting a range of disorders characterized by excessive selfcontrol.  Clients that have benefited from RODBT include those with social anxiety, panic, a preoccupation with control, avoidance of confrontation, stubbornness/rigidity, and a stance that "I am right"

RODBT suggests that there are three core features involved in emotional well being:


1.  Receptivity and Openness to new experience and disconfirming feedback in order to learn.

2.  Flexible-control in order to adapt to changing environmental conditions.

3.  Intimacy and social-connectedness (with at least one other person) based on premises that species survival required capacities to form long-lasting bonds and work in groups or tribes
