From the vast amount of research that supports relationships between emotion regulation and mental health, it can be hypothesized that enhancing emotion regulation skills should be an important target in the treatment of mental health problems. There are existing treatments that explicitly or implicitly enhance emotion regulation skills. However, there are some limitations of these treatments when used for the specific purpose of enhancing general emotion regulation skills.
