ZOOM: Dialectic Behaviour Therapy 2 - Intermediate - 3-4 Sept. 2020 (50% Student Discount Available)
DBT was the first psychotherapy shown to be effective in treating BPD in controlled clinical trials - the most rigorous type of clinical research. While DBT is no longer the only therapy to have shown effectiveness in controlled trials, it has grown a large evidence base and is considered one of the best treatments for BPD in terms of documented success rates.
DBT is based on Dr. Linehan’s theory that the core problem in BPD is emotion dysregulation, resulting from mixing biology (e.g., genetic and other biological risk factors) and an emotionally unstable childhood environment (e.g., where caregivers punish, trivialise or respond erractically to the child’s expression of emotion) together. The focus of DBT is in helping the client learn and apply skills that will decrease emotion dysregulation and unhealthy attempts to cope with strong emotions.
Usually, DBT includes a combination of group skills training, individual psychotherapy and phone coaching, although there are exceptions. Patients in DBT are asked to monitor their symptoms and use learned skills daily, while their progress is tracked throughout therapy.
These skills centre on learning to observe, describe and participate in all experiences (including thoughts, sensations, emotions and things happening externally in the environment) without judging these experiences as “good” or “bad”. These are considered “core” skills that are necessary in order to implement the other DBT skills successfully.
The focus of this skill module is on learning to successfully assert your need and to manage conflict in relationships.
In this module, patients learn to identify and manage emotional reactions.
The distress tolerance skills module promotes learning ways to accept and tolerate distress without doing anything that will make the distress worse in the long run (e.g., engaging in self-harm).
