Most of us were never taught *how* to ask for what we need — clearly, confidently, and in a way that the other person can actually receive.

That's exactly what the DBT skill DEAR MAN is for.

It's a simple framework:
✅ Get on the same page about the facts
✅ Share your feelings without blame
✅ Make a clear, specific ask
✅ Show the other person what they gain by saying yes
✅ Stay focused, stay confident, and be ready to negotiate

This week on the DBT Works blog we break down DEAR MAN, step-by-step.

Which treatment is the *only* psychotherapy that is "well-established" for reducing self-injurious behaviors in teens?

Hint: We're super excited about it!

Alright, alright, we know, the suspense was too much for us, too: It's DBT for adolescents!

In a new update, just released in the Journal of Clinical Child and Adolescent Psychology on behalf of the Society of Clinical Child and Adolescent Psychology, our own Erika Esposito, Ph.D. and her colleagues found that DBT for adolescents is currently the only psychotherapy that is well-established for reducing teen suicidal ideation, su***de attempts, and self-harm.

Many folks think they've tried , but it turns out what they did wasn't really DBT at all. So, how can you tell if a provider is really doing adherent DBT?

Of course, finding an LBC certified provider or program is a great strategy, but only a small portion of DBT programs are certified. Don't worry though, there are a few simple questions you can ask to determine whether a provider is providing adherent DBT.
