Most state public systems now require DBT as the standard of care for borderline personality disorder. But the methodology of DBT has been found through both practice and research to be more robust. It is acuity, not diagnosis, that defines when DBT is applicable. DBT treats the clients that we find most difficult to treat in private and public practice. Join Lane Pederson, Psy.D., clinician and founder of Dialectical Behavior Therapy National Certification and Accreditation Association (DBTNCAA), and take home practical skills in deploying DBT to your most difficult-to-treat clients.

- Validate even the most self-defeating beliefs and feelings
- Implement strategies for inertia and resistance in the face of overwhelming emotions
- Balance acceptance with change
- Respect weaknesses while encouraging strengths
- Deal with transference issues as opportunities for change
- Prevent “therapeutic drift”?
- Generalize therapeutic gains by keeping behaviorally focused
