Dialectical BT Beyond the Basics - Oct 2021 - NC21BBD010X01

VIRTUAL DELIVERY - "Dialectical Behaviour Therapy - Beyond the Basics" -Many therapists have been introduced to core concepts of Dialectical Behaviour Therapy (DBT) through Sheri Van Dijk’s workshop "Calming the Emotional Storm", as well as through her books. The Dialectical Behaviour Therapy - Beyond the Basics workshop is intended for clinicians with a basic understanding of DBT who want to develop more sophisticated and targeted interventions by:

1) Delving further into treatment planning from a DBT perspective and learning how to decide which DBT interventions will best suit a client’s needs
2) Exploring how to teach the DBT skills to clients in relation to Axis I diagnoses, such as depression, anxiety disorders, and bipolar disorder
3) Discussing what to do when interventions don’t seem to be moving the client forward
4) Taking a closer look at the role of the DBT consultation team
