This lesson is a new acronym, that pulls the module together. This is a review, more than a full lesson.
Through didactic instruction, clinical vignettes, experiential exercises, and ample opportunity for case consultation, this interactive workshop will address both theoretical and practical features of DBT, including how to incorporate DBT skills into comprehensive treatment planning for a range of psychiatric disorders, regardless of therapists’ theoretical orientation or treatment approach. Core constructs of DBT, including biosocial theory and the role of invalidating environments in the etiology and maintenance of many emotional and behavioral disorders, will be addressed. Participants will be taught acceptance-based, behavioral change, and dialectical strategies of DBT, allowing them to increase client motivation and engagement, and incorporate proven techniques such as mindfulness, validation, functional behavioral (chain) analysis, self-monitoring (e.g., diary cards), problem solving, and contingency management into their everyday practice. Therapist creativity and authenticity will be emphasized when implementing interventions in order to individualize treatment and strengthen the therapeutic alliance. In addition to grasping the theoretical underpinnings of DBT, participants will learn how to help clients develop self-care and self-compassion as an “antidote” to pervasive invalidation. The four DBT skills modules (mindfulness, distress tolerance, emotion regulation, and interpersonal effectiveness) will be introduced and illustrated to help participants practice and integrate skills into assessment and treatment planning for a wide range of client problems.
