FAST — Fair, Apologies (no unnecessary ones), Stick to values, Truthful — is a DBT interpersonal effectiveness skill developed by Marsha Linehan for maintaining self-respect in relationships. While DEAR MAN aims for getting what you need and GIVE aims for relationship health, FAST targets the internal cost: whether you feel like yourself and respect yourself after the interaction. - IFS Parts Mapping, Made Practical
Parts mapping is an Internal Family Systems (Richard Schwartz) practice of systematically identifying and visually or narratively charting the distinct inner parts — critics, worriers, peacekeepers, wounded exiles — and their relationships to each other. It is a diagnostic and orientation tool: it shows you the terrain of your inner system before you try to work with any single part. Evidence sits within the broader IFS and parts-work literature, which is growing but not yet on par with CBT or DBT. - DBT Interpersonal Effectiveness: Getting What You Need Without Destroying the Relationship
Dialectical Behavior Therapy’s interpersonal effectiveness module gives concrete skills for asking for what you need, saying no, and managing conflict — without sacrificing either your objectives or the relationship. The DEAR MAN, GIVE, and FAST acronyms operationalize three distinct goals (getting results, keeping the relationship, keeping self-respect) that often pull in different directions. DBT as a whole has strong RCT evidence; the interpersonal module is integral to that evidence base. - DEAR MAN: making effective requests
Describe, Express, Assert, Reinforce — then Mindful, Appear confident, Negotiate.
