COURSE DESCRIPTION
In Doing Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT): An Advanced Intensive Training the instructors will tackle typical problems in the practice of DBT, demonstrating how to address them with a fine-tuned level of detail, similar to having supervision in a group. While the syllabus will be set in advance and will be followed in detail, instructors and participants will also tailor the clinical examples, demonstrations, and experienctial practices to the needs, interests and clinical experiences of participants. Topics covered are:

- Being dialectical: DBT as a principle-based treatment
- Treating secondary targets
- Behavioral chain analysis and case conceptualization
- Understanding and treating lack of progress
- Mindfulness for the therapist
- Using behavioral change procedures in concert in sessions
- Using DBT to prevent and treat thearpist burnout
- Enhancing team consultation

This training will be taught at an advanced level and is designed to take the DBT clinician's current work in therapy to the next level. Basics will not be taught. Therefore, participants should have studied and practiced DBT sufficiently to enter into active participation in discussions, exercises, and practices.

TARGET AUDIENCE
The target audience will consist of licensed mental health practitioners in several disciplines: psychology, psychiatry, social work, psychiatric nursing, licensed mental health counselors, and licensed marital and family therapists. Instructors will assume knowledge of DBT, some experience in the practice of the treatment, and will teach at an advanced level. Pre-licensed therapists may attend if they have sufficient training and experience to qualify for an advanced DBT training.

FORMAT AND TEACHING METHODS
This workshop will include power point slides and handouts, but the vast majority of the training will be interactional: demonstrating and discussing the effective use of DBT’s principles and strategies in individual therapy, consultation team, and skills groups; then having participants practice with coaching and feedback. Taking the DBT practice of participants “to another level” is accomplished by focused, practical, experiential teaching (role-plays, practice exercises) with lots of feedback and discussion; with use of case examples from the instructors and the participants, and the occasional use of a video from the instructors.
