The Interpersonal Effectiveness module of Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) focuses on enhancing communication skills and strengthening relationships with others and oneself. These skills help individuals navigate social interactions more effectively by teaching them how to assert their needs, maintain healthy boundaries, and balance their goals with consideration for others. Core areas of focus include getting objectives met (achieving desired outcomes in interactions), maintaining quality relationships (preserving and improving connections with others), and maintaining self-respect (upholding personal values and dignity). By cultivating these abilities, individuals can foster deeper, more fulfilling social connections while reducing conflict and enhancing emotional resilience in their relationships.
