Since its development for borderline personality disorder and suicidality, numerous empirically validated studies over the past several decades have shown Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) to be effective in treating substance use disorders, domestic violence, trauma and dissociative disorders, and mood disorders. By gaining an understanding of biologically-driven vulnerabilities and environmental stressors that contribute to emotion dysregulation across different psychological problems, clients can experience less shame about their problematic coping styles and related interpersonal difficulties. Moreover, DBT’s four skills modules aid clients in developing effective communication styles, enhanced coping ability, and greater capacity to manage challenging emotions and high-stress situations without resorting to self-defeating, impulsive, and potentially harmful behaviors.
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.
