COURSE DETAILS
Description: This presentation will teach the philosophy and basic principles of Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), and how DBT can relate to psychoanalytic work. The course will explain what DBT is—the content of the modality itself—as well as demonstrate how its practice can be used in conjunction with—and as a means to enhance—psychoanalytic work. Using DBT—or having a patient participate in DBT concurrent with psychodynamic psychotherapy—can provide a scaffolding of skills that allows for greater distress tolerance in the patient and thus a greater possibility of depth in psychodynamic work. It is applicable to any patient but can be particularly useful for individuals who experience high levels of emotional dysregulation from trauma as well as individuals with high levels of interpersonal discord. The skills are not a substitute for depth-oriented psychotherapy but can be used as part of a broader treatment picture to create new possibilities in psychodynamic work that may currently or previously have been unattainable because of difficulties maintaining emotional cohesion.
CME Objectives:
- List what skills comprise DBT.
- Describe how DBT can complement psychodynamic work.
