Radically open dialectical behavior therapy (RO DBT) is a breakthrough,
evidence-based treatment supported by twenty years of clinical research,
and targets a spectrum of disorders characterized by excessive emotional
overcontrol (OC)—including depression, anxiety, obsessive-compulsive
personality disorder, eating disorders, and more. People with OC struggle to
express vulnerability and build emotional connection, leading to loneliness,
perfectionism, and isolation. This groundbreaking workbook offers readers
skills to encourage strong social connections as a powerful tool for recovery.
