Individual Training for Clinicians New To DBT (Source: Behavioral Tech Inc.)

These are the steps for individuals who a) are new to DBT and are considering whether or not to start a team so they can become well-trained in the treatment OR b) have recently joined an already established DBT team and need to “catch up” to the other team members’ level of knowledge.

1. Attend a two-day workshop. 2. If not a member of an already established team, form a team (guidelines for forming a new team). 3. If joining a team that is intensively trained, attend a five-day workshop on DBT designed specifically to bring new team members up to date on all the components of DBT. Part of this workshop will include the assignment of reading Cognitive Behavior Therapy of Borderline Personality Disorder and the Skills Training Manual for Treating Borderline Personality Disorder.
