Course Description:
Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) is a complex treatment and therefore is effortful for most to learn. Although training is sufficient for getting basic through advanced learning (skill acquisition with some strengthening), supervision or consultation is the mechanism through which most therapists generalize skills learned to their actual therapy sessions.
There are many types of supervisors/consultants, and many ways of doing supervision/consultation, which, in many settings, can lead to confounding roles and a lack of clarity with goals. The distinctions between administrative, clinical and treatment specific supervision often gets conflated with consultation and consultation team in DBT. This online course addresses some of the issues that arise in DBT supervision/consultation across all contexts. The course will describe different processes for using supervision/consultation as well as how to choose consultants and formats for consultation.
