2 Day Intensive Dialectical Behaviour Therapy Live Webinar

Dialectical Behaviour Therapy (DBT) was developed by Prof. Marsha Linehan, PhD. At the University of Washington in the late 1970’s.  She added acceptance, dialectics and validation strategies to cognitive-behavioural treatment for clients diagnosed with borderline personality disorder (BPD)who often presented with chronic patterns of suicidal or other severe dysfunctional behaviours and named the therapy Dialectical Behaviour Therapy (DBT).  In her 2^nd Edition ‘DBT Skills Training Manual 2015’ she has explained how useful DBT can be  for many other client groups and has given examples of how DBT can be modified to assist these clients.  She has also added a variety of new skills to the original modules for skills training.

On the first day of this 2 Day Intensive DBT I explain the theory and structure of DBT and how to work as an individual DBT Therapist.  The second day I teach as many skills as is possible as if I was conducting a Skills Training Group.  You will learn the timing and structure of Individual DBT Therapy, conducting a Skills Training Group and how to structure and set up a Consult team.  This is a short course that I have developed many years after I have completed Prof. Linehan’s Comprehensive Training (2008).  I have trained over 2000 Health Care Professionals since 2011.
