The course content will focus on increasing participant competency and knowledge in DBT areas not as commonly known to practitioners who've had some basic exposure to the modality. Content will include; modes and functions of DBT, stages and targets, pre-treatment checklist, setting up a diary card, shifting styles from reciprocal to irreverent, "thinking behaviorally," DBT case conceptualization, orienting and committing to phone coaching, conducting phone coaching, DBT consultation team, and overall DBT adherence. Teaching methods will include; didactic, role play, real play, break out rooms/discussions, short quizzes, pre-training case conceptualization form, day end quiz, and evaluation at the end of each day.
