objectives.
1. Form a team by identifying no less
than four to six other clinicians who will make the commitment necessary
to learn the treatment. The maximum number for a team is eight and, if
you really want time to discuss clients in detail, a team of eight
should extend its meeting time from one to one and one-half hours.
2. The newly formed team then agrees to
do the following:
-
Read the six consultation team
agreements outlined on pp. 117-119 in Cognitive Behavior Treatment of
Borderline Personality Disorder (Linehan, 1993a). Discuss the
agreements fully and only proceed to step b after every team member
clearly understands and has agreed to the rules for the team.
-
Set and adhere to a weekly meeting
time of one hour for smaller teams and at least one and one half hours
for larger teams (see above for parameters of team size).
-
Read Cognitive Behavior Treatment of
Borderline Personality Disorder together, chapter-by-chapter. Rotate
leadership of chapter discussion. If you read two chapters per week,
the book can be finished in less than eight weeks.
3. If the team is confident it
understands the basics of the treatment, attend a
two day skills training workshop.
4. If the team is struggling with the
basics of the treatment, attend a two-day
introductory workshop.
