| Training Description |
Dialectical behavior therapy is an effective, evidence-based therapy designed to treat individuals with complex, chronic, difficult-to-treat disorders with a combination of Axis I and Axis II diagnoses. Over the past decade, Miller, Rathus, and Linehan have researched and adapted this treatment with adolescents and families, as described extensively in their book, Dialectical Behavior Therapy with Suicidal Adolescents (Guilford Press, 2007). Mental health professionals working with multi-problem suicidal adolescents are often stymied by the complex clinical presentations and treatment challenges that arise. These adolescents are often difficult to engage and retain in outpatient treatment. DBT offers practitioners a comprehensive treatment approach that prioritizes life-threatening and therapy-interfering behaviors to keep adolescents safe, stable, and connected to treatment.
This training is designed for all mental health practitioners working with teens and families in a wide range of treatment contexts. Participants will learn the basic principles of DBT as well as relevant adaptations for working with this population. Practitioners will learn specific principles and strategies relevant to individual therapy, family sessions, telephone consultation, and skills training with adolescents and families, including a new skills module called “Walking the Middle Path.”
This training will be conducted in a “hands-on” manner, emphasizing clear and practical instruction illustrated in video, role-play demonstrations, small group interactions, and adolescent-friendly mindfulness exercises.

| Dialectical Behavior Therapy |
| Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), developed by Marsha Linehan, Ph.D., ABBP, at the University of Washington, is a comprehensive cognitive-behavioral treatment for borderline personality disorder (BPD). DBT is especially effective for those with chronic suicidal or other severe, dysfunctional behaviors. Research has shown DBT to be effective in reducing suicidal behavior, psychiatric hospitalization, dropout from treatment, substance abuse, anger and interpersonal difficulties. |
