The “D” in DBT: Teaching Dialectics in Concepts and Practice- 16 April 2025
An online live training using Zoom. APAC-DBT members (full and associate): free. Guests: high income country AU$25, lower income country AU$15. Country discounts will be applied at the checkout.
Description
Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) is a highly effective treatment developed by Marsha M. Linehan, PhD for multi-diagnostic, severely disordered individuals with pervasive emotion dysregulation. Dialectical philosophy is one of the theoretical pillars of this evidence-based treatment. The theoretical framework underlying DBT – the biosocial theory, reflects the dialectical process. The fundamental dialectic in DBT – acceptance and change, is expressed in the assumptions clinicians abide by in working with clients. Finally, the secondary treatment targets or dialectical dilemmas, are considered in case conceptualization and treatment planning.
Learning objectives:
- Understand and teach Dialectic Philosophy: What is it and how is it used in DBT
- Teaching the Biosocial Theory as a transactional model and dialectical process
- Present the DBT assumptions as reflective of the central dialectic in DBT – acceptance and change
- Identify and integrate secondary targets into a client’s case conceptualization and treatment plan
