Radically Open-Dialectical Bahavioral Therapy (RO-DBT) is a transdiagnoctic therapy designed to address the over-control which is present in serious disorders such as Anorexia Nervosa. Over-control is a maladaptive coping mode that emerges from temperamental and social factors and has been linked to social isolation, relational deficits, hyper-perfectionism, cognitive rigidity, risk aversion and emotional inhibition. RO-DBT aims for open-experience and negative feedback as a learning chance, for the flexibility to adapt to a constantly changing environment, and for the formation of close social bonds. In this treatment pleasure, relaxation and bonding are prioritized, being the main target social-signaling deficits that perpetuate isolation. The aim of this paper is to provide an overview of the core theoretical principles and therapeutic strategies of RO-DBT and the application and usefulness in Anorexia Nervosa.
