DBT is a now an established evidence-based treatment for multi-problem and selfharming adolescents. Dr. Alec Miller and his colleagues will teach the theories, structure, and practice of the DBT model, including strategies for individual sessions, skills training groups, inter-session coaching, and the effective management of a consultation team. The instructors will utilize various teaching formats including didactics, videos, role-play demonstrations and participant exercises. Research has shown DBT with adolescents to effectively reduce self-harm behaviors, depression, hopelessness, dropout from treatment, psychiatric hospitalization, substance use and interpersonal difficulties.

Workshop Objectives: The training will cover a range of strategies, and participants will:

• Understand the biosocial theory of borderline personality disorder and emotion dysregulation as well as how to assess multi-problem youth;

• Practice orientation and commitment strategies effective for teenagers and families;

• Learn the treatment structure and targets for multi-problem, high-risk adolescents;

• Learn the various change and acceptance strategies used in individual DBT;

• Become familiar with the adolescent-family dialectical dilemmas, dialectical thinking and acting and how to teach it to teens and parents; • Understand how to create and maintain adolescent skills training groups with and without caregivers;

• Learn the DBT skills taught in Rathus & Miller’s DBT Skills Manual for Adolescents.

This Workshop is For: Clinicians and members of existing consultation teams in agencies and schools.
