Jump Start in Dialectical Behavior Therapy© - ONLINE [Oct 2024]

Course Information:

Through our 25 plus years of teaching DBT, we have learned that there are trainings that teach you “to know” and trainings that teach you “to do”.  While it is incredibly important to understand the comprehensive structures and goals of DBT, most clinicians need help with what to do with DBT.  All modes of treatment in DBT (Individual treatment, skills training, coaching, and consultation team) weave principles, strategies, and structure together in a way that move clients toward the lives they want to live.  DBT individual therapy is the primary driver of DBT, bringing these complex principles together with precision and compassion.  When clinicians understand what to do with individual psychotherapy in DBT, the other modes of DBT become far more accessible.   The Jump Start in DBT© focuses on learning and practicing all aspects of DBT individual psychotherapy so that clinicians understand how to develop and move fluidly through the comprehensive treatment. 

The course will focus on the strategies (validation, communication, case management, dialectical) and the assessments and interventions (chain analysis, exposure, contingency management, cognitive modification and skills coaching) in DBT.  We will teach participants exactly how to conduct the first four sessions of DBT (Pre-Treatment) and each task within them.  We will teach how to structure individual therapy, focusing on what happens from the beginning to end of each session, as well as covering what happens between sessions. 

This training is principally designed to support therapists new to DBT, though Linehan Board Certified clinicians have reported that refresher training in the structure, strategies and principles increases their confidence and competence to deliver DBT individual Psychotherapy.  The Jump Start in DBT© is also a solid refresher for clinicians beginning the certification process for DBT Certified Individual Therapist (www.dbt-lbc.org). 

This course will NOT be teaching the content of DBT Skills Training Groups. Skills will be addressed as they are used in DBT individual psychotherapy, but the actual skills will not be taught.  If you are unfamiliar with the skills, our recommendation is that you complete the Master Class: Core Skills in DBT© before beginning the Jump Start in DBT©.
