If you have solid DBT training and experience, then you know the truth…

It works, often with flying colors, until it doesn’t.

“Sticking to the manual” may lead to negative outcomes and frustration for clients who:

Undermine their therapy with treatment-resistant behaviors…

Are losing hope in their battle with Bipolar Disorder…

Need therapy that effectively treats their mental health diagnosis AND their substance use disorder.

You know DBT is one of the most adaptable treatments across settings and diagnoses.

But how do you adapt your DBT treatment to reach your most difficult clients, the ones your manual doesn’t mention?

By learning contemporary, evidence-based application strategies from the top practitioners and innovators of DBT.

Join world-renowned DBT trainer and clinician Lane Pederson, PsyD, LP, along with Eboni Webb, PsyD, Sher van Djik, MSW, and Steve Girardeau, PsyD, as they explore how they’ve adapted the core skills of DBT to bring relief and recovery to clients with complex trauma issues, Bipolar Disorder, and dual diagnosis.

Plus…you’ll get instant access to The Expanded Dialectical Behavior Therapy Skills Training Manual: DBT for Self-Help and Individual & Group Treatment Settings, 2nd Edition.

It’s jampacked with crystal-clear explanations and worksheets that make DBT skills more accessible for you and your clients.

Don’t wait, expand your DBT practice today.

Here’s a sneak peek at what you’ll learn:

DBT for Complex Trauma – Insecure attachments in youth can lead to treatment-resistant behaviors in adult clients. Dr. Eboni Webb draws from Sensorimotor Psychotherapy to connect with treatment-resistant clients, allowing the core DBT skills to take root in their lives.

DBT for Bipolar Disorder – You don’t have to shy away from these clients. Sheri Van Dijk, MSW, uses a DBT-informed (and research-based) approach to help clients with Bipolar Disorder increase self-efficacy and manage their emotions more effectively.

DBT for Dual Disorders – Can it really work? Steve Girardeau, PsyD, says “Yes!” – with an integrated dual disorder treatment that’s tailored to your client’s needs, accounts for potential chemical use relapse, and involves consistent case coordination across treatment providers.

DBT in Action – Some say there’s only one legitimate way to apply DBT – others defend their DBT adaptations as evidence-based. Lane Pederson, PsyD, LP, provides a dialectical synthesis for the debate, and best practices for delivering effective DBT therapy via Telehealth.

With an expanded DBT practice, you can help even your most difficult clients learn to solve life’s problems as they arise, and manage their stress as it fluctuates.
