Cognitive Behavior Therapy (CBT) is a psycho-social intervention that aims to improve mental health. CBT focuses on challenging and changing unhelpful cognitive distortions and behaviors, improving emotional regulation, and the development of personal coping strategies that target solving current problems. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) is the most thoroughly researched treatment for people with self-harm and suicidal behaviors. DBT offers consistent significant findings in reducing the frequency of self-harm behaviors, as well as reducing inpatient admission episodes and improving global functioning and adjustment. Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA) is a type of therapy that focuses on improving specific behavior, such as social skills, communication, reading and academics as well as adaptive learning skills, such as fine motor dexterity, hygiene, grooming, domestic capabilities, punctuality, and job competence.
