Part 4: Advanced Individual DBT Treatment Strategies and Techniques

Program Description:
 
This one day workshop is designed for individuals who have attended Part 3: An Introduction to Individual Dialectical Behavior Therapy or for those who would like to further advance their knowledge of individual DBT treatment.  The goal of this workshop will be to extend beyond basic DBT individual strategies and techniques and move toward more advanced use of DBT individual treatment strategies and conceptualization.  Through various role plays, clinical case examples, video-taped client-therapist interactions, and experiential exercises, participants will learn how to incorporate several DBT strategies into their practice,  including dialectical strategies and committment strategies.   Upon completion of the program participants will earn 6 CEUs.
