This 5-day intensive training course offers a comprehensive exploration of DBT based on Marsha Linehan’s work. Participants will engage in mindfulness exercises to bookend each section, fostering a reflective learning environment. The course begins with an introduction to DBT, including its history, diagnosis and key statistics, followed by an in-depth look at the etiology and comorbidity of borderline personality disorder (BPD). Attendees will delve into the core skills of DBT, such as emotional regulation, interpersonal effectiveness, and distress tolerance, through interactive handouts and exercises. The training also covers the structure and purpose of consultation groups, motivational strategies, and practical therapy techniques, ensuring a well-rounded understanding of DBT’s application in clinical settings.
