Basic Principles and Application of Dialectical Behavior Therapy

Presenter:

Dr. Susan Landes has been working in the fields of mental health and addiction since 1987. She received her master's degree in Clinical Psychology and Specialization in Alcohol and other Drug Treatment from J. F. Kennedy University in 1987. Dr. Landes earned her doctorate from the Wright Institute in 2003. While a student at the Wright, she became excited about DBT and its application to co-occurring disorders and has been using DBT in her clinical practice for the past 13 years. In addition to providing therapy, she also provides supervision, consultation, and program design and development to clinicians in the field. Dr. Landes is the owner of the Auburn Davis Center for DBT.

Description of the workshop:

Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT) was initially developed by Dr. Marsha Linehan to help clients that were suicidal or intentionally self-injuring. Current research has shown DBT to be effective with other groups including substance abusers. A traditional DBT program involves meeting weekly with an individual DBT therapist and participation in a weekly DBT skills training group. Clients are encouraged to substitute DBT skills for dysfunctional problem-solving behaviors, such as suicide attempts, intentional self-injuring, binging and purging, drug and alcohol use, and other harmful coping strategies.

This training will introduce the basic concepts and rationale of DBT, will provide an application of DBT to a private practice setting, and will give an overview and practice of the skills taught in the four training modules: Mindfulness, Emotional Regulation, Distress Tolerance, and Interpersonal Effectiveness. Post training questions include: 1) Describe how you would chose an Interpersonal Effectiveness Skill. 2) Why is mindfulness the foundation of DBT? 3) What is the usual cause for secondary emotions? 4) How would one use the skill of Coping Ahead?

Goals and Objectives:

1. Participants will explain the rationale for utilizing (applying) Dialectical Behavior Therapy skills as an adjunct to their existing knowledge of working with emotionally dysregulated and impulsive clients.

2. Participants will identify which skills will be useful in the treatment of a variety of psychological symptoms such as, substance abuse, self-harm, suicidal ideation, intense sadness, social anxiety and anxiety related to the stressors of life.

3. Participants will practice and be able to demonstrate several skills from each of the four DBT skills modules, Mindfulness, Distress Tolerance, Interpersonal Effectiveness, and Emotion Regulation.
