Training Description

Every one of us needs the ability to regulate emotions. The more intense and labile emotions are, the more emotion regulation skills are needed. Individuals entering into psychotherapy often experience high emotional arousal –usually shame, anger, sadness and fear. The various behavioral disorders are often rooted in how emotions are experienced and regulated. Many individuals try to regulate emotions by instructing themselves not to feel the emotion or by avoiding them in other ways. Instruction and coaching in emotion regulation skills and strategies for getting through crises without making things worse is often necessary in psychotherapy no matter what the approach and no matter what the presenting problem.

Learning Objectives

    Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) is an empirically supported treatment for individuals with severe emotion regulation problems. Part of the treatment consists of teaching and coaching individuals in very specific emotion regulation and crisis survival skills. The DBT Emotion Regulation skills have recently been updated to make them more effective with behavioral change and keep them current with emotion research. Participants will learn an overview of these specific skills, including advances that have been made to the original skills set in DBT, and how to integrate these skills into their clinical practice.

    As a result of this training, participants will be able to:
  • Describe to others what emotions are and how they function.
  • Coach clients in changing emotional reactions to situations.
  • Conduct problem solving and Opposite Action Skills together.
  • Demonstrate to others the skills for reducing negative emotion vulnerability.
  • Teach Acceptance Skills of Mindfulness to current emotion, using Crisis Skills when the emotion is too high.

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
Marsha Linehan, Ph.D., is a Professor of Psychology, Adjunct Professor of Psychiatry and Behavioral Sciences at the University of Washington and Director of the Behavioral Research and Therapy Clinics, a consortium of research projects developing new treatments and evaluating their efficacy for severely disordered and multi-diagnostic populations. Her primary research is in the application of behavioral models to suicidal behaviors, drug abuse, and borderline personality disorder. She is also working to develop effective models for transferring efficacious treatments from the research academy to the clinical community.

She has received several awards recognizing her clinical and research contributions, including the Louis I. Dublin Award for Lifetime Achievement in the Field of Suicide and the Distinguished Scientist Award from the Society for a Science of Clinical Psychology, American Psychological Association, as well as awards for Distinguished Research in Suicide (American Foundation of Suicide Prevention), Distinguished Contributions to the Practice of Psychology (American Association of Applied and Preventive Psychology), Distinguished Contributions for Clinical Activities, (Association for the Advancement of Behavior Therapy), Distinguished Scientific Contributions to Clinical Psychology (Society of Clinical Psychology) and Lifetime Achievement Award (Clinical Emergencies and Crises Section, American Psychological Association). She is the past-president of the Association for the Advancement of Behavior Therapy, fellow and president-elect of the Society of Clinical Psychology, American Psychological Association, a fellow of the American Psychopathological Association and a diplomat of the American Board of Behavioral Psychology.

The treatment she has developed combines the technology of change derived from behavioral science with the radical acceptance, or “technology of acceptance,” derived from both eastern zen practices and western contemplative spirituality. The practice of mindfulness, willingness, and radical acceptance form an important part of her treatment approach.

She has written three books, including two treatment manuals: Cognitive-Behavioral Treatment for Borderline Personality Disorder and Skills Training Manual for Treating Borderline Personality Disorder. She serves on a number of editorial boards, and has published extensively in scientific journals.

She is founder of Marie Institute of Behavioral Technology, a non-profit organization that owns the company she founded, Behavioral Tech LLC, a behavioral technology transfer group. With them she is actively involved in developing effective models for transferring efficacious treatments from the research academy to the clinical community.
