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.
