We are offering one free registration for this training in December.

This training focuses on chain analysis.  Each section of the chain will be reviewed.  Assessment questions for gathering data for each position of the chain will be discussed and practiced.  After chains are completed, therapists work with clients to generate a hypothesis of the function of the problem behavior as well as controlling variables that maintain the problem behavior.  In this training, there will be discussion and practices on generating effective hypotheses after conducting chains.  The training will focus on problem solving issues that occur during chain, e.g. the client stops collaborating and/or dissociates and conclude with how to watch others’ chains and give effective feedback to team members and supervisees/trainees.

This course is designed for clinicians who have been trained and are actively practicing DBT.  This course will not teach the basics of DBT. 

Apply between October 17 - November 6, 2025.
