Description

  • Use DBT flexibly, creatively and effectively
  • Make this complex model work for a variety of clients
  • Integrate DBT skills into individual and group therapy
  • Take home many client resources and worksheets
  • Practice streamlined diary cards and chain analysis protocols

Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) is an empirically validated approach for working with mental health, chemical dependency, and complex co-morbidity. Designed to empower clients to establish mindfulness, distress tolerance, emotional regulation, and interpersonal effectiveness, DBT assists clinicians in treating clients with emotional problems, suicidal, self-harm, and self-sabotaging urges and behaviors, and challenging interpersonal styles.

Attend this 2-day certificate course and receive a detailed understanding and foundation of the skills of Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) as applied to clients with mental health and chemical dependency issues. Going beyond symptom management, these skills are designed to improve functioning to build satisfying lives.

This course explores DBT’s theoretical basis, specific DBT interventions, and how to teach skills in individual and group settings. Familiarity with these skills and techniques along with experiential exercises will enhance your clinical skills and professional development.

Guided by the latest research and policy in evidence-based practices, this course teaches the clinical process and content of DBT from theory to practice. Going beyond prescriptive applications, this course shows you how to use essentials such as validation, dialectical strategies, communication styles, and the best ways of changing behaviors in order to effectively balance acceptance and change with your clients. Complete with education on user-friendly diary cards and chain analysis protocols, you will leave this seminar with increased DBT competency as well as many new tools including client worksheets to bring to your clinical practice.

"Great course, would take another by the presenter. "

Stephanie B

"Good experience. A refresher from post-doc training. Jean is an excellent fit for DBT and her enthusiasm is evident. I see how I can adapt DBT into my work. I live in a remote area and no DBT trained psychologists in my community. I would be willing to telecommute with a DBT group if possible. Maybe others who attended are in the same situation. "

John W

"This course is very appropriate to my needs; working with juvenile males, and I was very surprised how much DBT I already use in my practice."

Cassady K

"Wonderful training!"
