Treatment for Pervasive Emotion Dysregulation
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy Program Description
This evidence based practice training is designed to provide mental health professionals with a foundational understanding of Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT). CBT includes a variety of empirically supported behavioral interventions that can be implemented with a wide range of chronic and acute psychological problems. There is a broad base of literature demonstrating strong empirical support for the efficacy of CBTs. CBT approaches incorporate the use of techniques including functional analysis, shaping, stimulus control, contingency management, and identifying and modifying cognitive distortions. This training is designed to prepare professionals to implement CBT tools with clients with a variety of presenting problems.
Dialectical Behavioral Therapy Program Description
This evidence based practice training builds on the foundation skills of CBT to teach clinicians about the model of Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT). DBT is an empirically support treatment for a variety of psychological problems stemming from pervasive emotion dysregulation, including suicidal behavior, self-injurious behavior, aggressive behavior, substance abuse, and binge eating. This treatment combines traditional CBT strategies with acceptance techniques. DBT addresses skills deficits by teaching skills in mindfulness, distress tolerance, emotion regulation, and interpersonal effectiveness. This training is designed to provide professionals with an understanding of the DBT framework and an overview of DBT skills.
Training Approach: Blended Learning
To address the need to support ongoing and advanced learning, this training program will use a blended learning curriculum. Blended learning combines traditional in-person training techniques with multimedia technology, resulting in ongoing training and support from the trainer, over the course of six months.
The program begins with a 2 day in-person didactic and experiential training in CBT, followed by another 2 day in-person didactic and experiential training in DBT. For the next 6 months, trainees will participate in monthly webinars designed to teach key principles of Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Dialectical Behavioral Therapy. These monthly webinar meetings also will provide opportunities for educational consultation around clinical challenges. The training will conclude with another one day in-person 6 hour training day.
