This informative lecture will focus on an introduction to Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), a structured therapy that teaches skills to help patients “build a life worth living” through learning to tolerate distress, understand and accept difficult feelings, manage emotions, and improve interpersonal relationships.
Dr. Miller will discuss the key components of DBT, and its structure with a focus on skills groups, the populations for which DBT was developed, and how DBT interfaces with and supports psychodynamic therapy. Dr. Miller will also review the role of DBT assumptions and team agreements, the DBT team approach, and demonstrate a typical DBT skills group session.
Course Objectives – Participants will be able to:
-Identify what DBT is, how it works, and who can benefit from it.
-Develop an understanding of the prescribed structure of DBT.
-Recognize and recognize the key components of DBT.
-Describe the way DBT and Psychodynamic Therapy can provide reciprocal therapeutic benefit.
