Description:
Dialectical behavior therapy (DBT) is an evidence-based treatment for individuals with severe emotion regulation difficulties and borderline personality disorder (BPD). The treatment comprises four stages that are structured based on the client’s level of disorder (e.g., severity, complexity), and each stage includes both primary and secondary treatment targets. In Stage 1, the primary treatment target is severe behavioral dyscontrol (e.g., suicidality, self-injury), and the associated treatment goal is behavioral control. In Stage 2, which often requires treatment for trauma and PTSD, the primary treatment target is emotional avoidance and the associated goal is non-anguished emotional experiencing. Across both stages, clinicians use chain analyses to identify a client’s secondary treatment targets (e.g., emotional vulnerability, apparent competence, inhibited grieving), or the underlying dialectical dilemmas and behavioral patterns that are related to problem behaviors.
Thus, effective therapeutic work with multi-diagnostic clients relies on careful case conceptualizations and chain analyses. This workshop will help DBT clinicians improve their ability to assess primary and secondary treatment targets and create case formulations to address what is most relevant in multi-diagnostic clients – particularly those in need of treatment for PTSD. In addition, clinicians will be given an overview of the DBT-Prolonged Exposure (DBT-PE) protocol for the treatment of comorbid BPD and PTSD.
This workshop is an intermediate to advanced workshop for clinicians with knowledge of DBT.
