I went through some DBT and it definitely had some good skills. I didn't find it as helpful as they predicted, but I have heard a lot of people say they liked it. It kinda breaks down different things in how you relate to the world and kinda teaches you methods to improve stuff. I remember there was stuff on distress tolerance (basically learning to deal with bad stuff in a more healthy way), interpersonal relationships (some was about basically how to assess your interactions with people, like not being too aggressive but also not letting people use you), ways to use both emotion and logic, and just kinda ways to be balanced.
So yeah, that's what i know of it. I didn't do it as strict as it often is though, i just basically went through all the papers but wasn't responsible for like homework. I imagine it could be very useful in an inpatient setting like you mentioned where you're in constant treatment and can really focus on practicing it all the time.
