Description

Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) is a skills-based approach widely used to treat various mental health concerns. DBT encompasses skills in four main categories: core mindfulness, emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness. For clinicians to be effective at infusing DBT skills into their clinical practice, it is important for clinicians first to learn the skills of DBT and how to teach them to clients. In this presentation, participants will briefly review the theoretical components of DBT, learn distress tolerance and interpersonal effectiveness skills, and understand how to implement the skills with clients.
