Workshop Description
Dialectical Behavior Therapy is evidence-based Behavior therapy treatment model formulated by Marsha Linehan, Ph.D. for the purpose of treating persons with borderline personality disorder. Currently, Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) is a widely accepted treatment approach to treat a broad range of clinical conditions and populations: Adolescents, Eating Disorders, Substance Use and Self-Harming/Distressed Individuals.
This mini-course will review DBT theory and research to provide a basic framework for understanding the treatment of problems with self/emotional regulation. This course will offer a practical skills approach for students to utilize in clinical settings.
