About The Course

In the course of everyday life, we often face situations resulting in anger, sadness, fear, and frustration. This can often be hard to handle. To make matters worse, these strong emotions can interfere with relationships, work and learning, and enjoyment and happiness in life.

This workshop is an introduction to Dialectical Behaviour Therapy (DBT) intended for mental health professionals who wish to acquaint themselves with the treatment. The dialectical nature of DBT is explained via the balance between change-based technology (behaviour therapy) with acceptance-based principles (validation). It highlights the structure of DBT and defines the modes and functions of comprehensive DBT.

This workshop is appropriate for mental health professionals interested in learning about DBT at an introductory level. Methods of instruction include lecture, treatment demonstrations, and practice exercises to illustrate the principles and strategies of DBT.
