DESCRIPTION

Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) is an innovative, evidence-based treatment developed by Marsha Linehan Ph.D. specifically for chronically suicidal patients with Borderline Personality Disorder (BPD). More recently, DBT is being used to treat other populations including patients with eating disorders and addictions, and has been specifically adapted for the treatment of emotionally dysregulated adolescents. This empirically validated treatment has been shown to help patients reduce suicidal and self-harm behavior, reduce the frequency of hospitalizations, remain engaged in therapy, and decrease substance use. DBT blends cognitive and behavioral interventions with acceptance-based strategies derived from mindfulness.

Training Objectives:

Day 1: 10-28-20
1. Understand the theoretical underpinnings of DBT treatment.
2. Understand the biosocial theory of emotion dysregulation.
3. Describe bio-social theory, the transaction between emotional vulnerability and invalidation.
4. State the functions and modes of DBT treatment.
5. Distinguish how mindfulness is used in DBT and apply principles to their own practice.
6. Justify a client referral for DBT treatment.

Day 2: 11-6-20
1. Detect how humans interact with the world to get their needs met through a behavior shaping role-play
2. Define the four modules of DBT
3. Understand the differences between clinical full model and group only application of DBT skills
4. Apply specific DBT skills to skills-only groups
5. Identify potential barriers to clinical application of DBT skills groups
6. Role play teaching and learning of DBT skills from various modules
