Course Description:

The Pre-Treatment phase of DBT Stage 1 is described as a series of sessions with a goal of keeping the client from dropping out of treatment prematurely (Linehan, 1993).  In order to do this, the therapist must provide orientation to the treatment, its modes, functions, roles of providers while providing information that informs the client’s expectations from the treatment.  Simultaneously, the DBT therapist is assessing history, current behaviors, determining Life Worth Living Goals, primary targets and moving into commitment to the treatment, its agreements and its various modes.  Because of research needs, pre-treatment was defined as four sessions.  Thus, four sessions has become the standard for DBT pre-treatment.   There are a multitude of tasks to be completed in those four sessions and there has always been discussion about when the client can begin treatment during the process.
