COURSE DESCRIPTION:
Providing individual DBT therapy for complex multi-diagnostic clients with Borderline Personality Disorder (BPD) is hard work and the road to treatment success is seldom straight-forward. It is easy to get mired down in the complexity and confusion of the targets, unrelenting crises, and in-session dysfunctional behavior. Once the most extreme behaviors quiet, we might long for the days when the session road map was simple: just do a chain analysis! But without cause, then what?
This advanced workshop is intended for anyone who wishes to significantly improve their practice of doing DBT individual therapy, mastering DBT case conceptualization, and creating high-octane treatment plans based on your client’s goals and your case conceptualization. This workshop is built on a framework of what we have learned over the past decades in supervising and mentoring DBT therapists through their learning and practice of DBT – all the way through the certification process. As such this workshop is particularly suited to meet the needs of experienced DBT clinicians wishing to significantly elevate their practice of DBT and prepare well for the DBT-LBC Clinician Certification process.
We will zero in on those key areas that are often the most challenging to master:
- Developing a case conceptualization based on the DBT biosocial theory and primary and secondary targets;
- Developing a client-specific DBT individualized treatment plan to get your client out of hell and on his/her way to a life worth living;
- Creating a personalized diary card that maps directly to your client’s goals, hopes, & behavioral targets;
- Structuring the session, including how to strategically review the diary card, collaboratively set an effective agenda with your client (even if they don’t want to), target the important topics and behaviors, and end the session well.
- Creatively activating new behaviors in session and creating other behavioral rehearsal strategies for clients to practice throughout the week;
- Collaboratively conducting a detailed high-octane behavioral chain analysis and solution analysis that illuminates what happened (including the context where the behavior occurred), as well as decision rules about where and how to intervene.
LEARNING OBJECTIVES:
