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 finish with increased DBT competency as well as many new tools including client worksheets to bring to your clinical practice.

Stephanie B - Carmel, California

"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 - BARBOURSVILLE, West Virginia

"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 - SHORELINE, Washington
