Anxiety is one of the most prevalent mental health disorders among adolescents. Previous research has established a link between emotion dysregulation (ED), the inability to regulate emotional responses, and anxiety. There is a clear need for more treatment options to be available for anxiety and ED problems because of the significant impact they have on an individual’s overall emotional wellness. An intervention that has been proven to be successful in alleviating anxiety symptoms is cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), however, previous studies have shown that there is a high remission rate, stressing the importance of finding other potential interventions. Another therapy, dialectical behavioral therapy (DBT), has received less research attention but has been found to reduce ED and anxiety for adults. Though DBT shows promising results, there is limited research conducted on comparing DBT and CBT and assessing their impact on emotion dysregulation problems and anxiety among adolescents.By testing ED scores and anxiety at three different time points, this study will seek to determine if DBT is effective in reducing ED and anxiety in adolescents compared to CBT by testing adolescents with either therapy in a group setting. It is probable that DBT will be more effective to help reduce emotion dysregulation skills because of its stronger emphasis on how to manage unhealthy emotions than CBT. A greater understanding of the effectiveness of these therapies will guide psychologists to focus on specific mechanisms that will contribute to recovery from common mental health problems among adolescents.
