DBT therapists combined efforts to develop an application
for the iPhone/iPad tracking skills for clients with BPD. This application is for use in combination
with a client and their therapist, not as a replacement for therapy. This
revolutionary study combines an evidence based practice with an application
accessible to any client owning a smart phone. Participants reported a decrease
in urges to use substances and a decrease in depressive symptoms. While more
studies are needed to validate these findings, it is a step toward problem
solving how the immediacy of technology may benefit certain vulnerable
populations.
