The ABCs of DBT
$10.00
Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) (Linehan, 1993) is a comprehensive treatment that balances principles of acceptance (mindfulness) and change (behaviorism). It is a systematic cognitive- behavioral approach to working with individuals with severe dysfunctional behaviors, especially those with chronic patterns of emotion dsyregulation and suicidal behavior. DBT has been applied to a wide array of populations including children and adolescents. Over 60 randomized controlled trials and over 100 nonrandomized trials support its use to target suicidality, treatment drop out, hospitalization, emotion dysregulation, behavioral dyscontrol, substance use disorders, eating disorders, treatment resistant depression in the elderly, and its application with highly dysregulated couples and families.
The focus of this program will be on describing the principles and strategies of DBT and providing a shared knowledge of who does what in DBT, how each of the modes of the treatment work together and how providers use the strategies in DBT to help clients change their behaviors andcreate lives worth living.
