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 frequency of hospitalizations, remain engaged in therapy, and decrease substance use. DBT blends cognitive and behavioral interventions with acceptance-based strategies derived from mindfulness.
Workshop Objectives:
1. Understand the theoretical underpinnings of DBT treatment.
2. Understand the biosocial theory of emotional dysregulation.
3. Describe biosocial 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 your own practice.
6. Justify a client referral for DBT treatment.
