| Training Description |
Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) provides tools and strategies to increase client and therapist motivation, facilitate change in multiple intransigent, severe disorders, and manage crises and difficult problems that arise in session (e.g., dissociation, attacking the therapist, refusing to speak, etc.). Topics will include details and nuances of first sessions of individual psychotherapy in DBT(behavioral assessment, goal setting, getting a commitment), suicide risk assessment, using a hierarchy to target when multiple dysfunctional behaviors are present at one time, treating therapist burnout, completing accurate chain analysis, and making a determination about when to move clients into exposure treatment.
This training is geared towards individual psychotherapists who:
- Have some experience, a working knowledge, and/or prior training in DBT
- Want to hone their individual psychotherapy skills.
Note: There will not be an overview of Dialectical Behavior Therapy.

| 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. |
| Instructors |
Charlie Swenson, M.D., graduated from Harvard College and Yale Medical School. He joined the faculty of Cornell University Medical College in 1982, where for five years he directed a long-term psychoanalytically-oriented inpatient program for patients with personality disorders. Beginning in 1987, Dr. Swenson developed and directed inpatient, outpatient, and day treatment programs for borderline patients based on Dialectical Behavior Therapy. Twice he was voted Teacher of the Year by the psychiatric residents (1990, 1993). While at Cornell, he served as a DBT trainer and consultant throughout the United States and Europe, coordinating statewide implementation of DBT in the public sectors of Illinois, Connecticut, Massachusetts, and the Canadian province of New Brunswick.
Dr. Swenson has published widely on the treatment of borderline patients, including one article comparing Kernberg’s psychoanalytic approach to DBT (1989), one article describing the inpatient application of DBT (2001), one article identifying the factors leading to DBT’s popularity (2001), and one article identifying the barriers and strategies for implementing DBT in community mental health centers (2002). During 1996 he served as the Coordinator of Clinical Training in DBT. From 1997 to the present he was Associate Professor of Clinical Psychiatry for the University of Massachusetts Medical Center, and from 1997 to 2001 he served as Area Medical Director for the Western Massachusetts Area of the Department of Mental Health. Currently Dr. Swenson is in private practice in Northampton, Massachusetts, and serves as a senior trainer and senior consultant for Behavioral Tech, LLC. |
