Take 10: Quarterly DBT Research Updates

Evidence-based practices matter to us. Staying informed about the latest research in our field is one way we can live by our values. To make scientific articles accessible, the Research Team at Portland DBT Institute is introducing our “Take 10” series of quarterly DBT research overviews. These reviews are snapshots of articles published during each quarter- we are currently working to summarize the rest of 2021 and 2022, with the goal of being caught up to “real time” in 2023.

Overviews will include brief summaries of selected articles published during the previous quarter, organized by topic of study. This resource is perfect for those of us who want a concise, but fairly comprehensive overview of findings, who might not otherwise have time to conduct our own literature reviews.

We are excited to share this resource with you! Please see the links below for our previous quarterly research updates.
