Due to the uncertainties of the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic and for the safety of all concerned,
it has been decided these sessions will be via livestream webinar only.

DBT is an empirically validated treatment for working with complex clients. It has been successfully used to care for individuals with suicidal behavior, non-suicidal self-injury, substance use, Post Traumatic Stress Disorder and personality disorders. With a focus on teaching mindfulness, distress tolerance, emotion regulation and interpersonal effectiveness, DBT allows clinicians and clients to navigate the complexities of their situation and build "a life worth living."

This presentation explores DBT's theoretical basis, specific DBT interventions, and how to implement DBT principles and techniques in group and individual practice settings. The information in this workshop allows clinicians to conceptualize their current caseload using a DBT framework. As an introduction to the principles of DBT, this course shows the clinician how to implement key features of DBT such as validation, dialectical strategies, communication styles, and the ways of changing behaviors in order to effectively balance acceptance and change with clients.

Eric J. Guendner, MA, LPA, LCAS, is a licensed psychological associate in Wilmington, North Carolina. As a clinician, Eric works in a Dialectical Behavioral Therapy focused partial hospitalization program and a DBT informed substance abuse intensive outpatient program (SAIOP). Eric developed an educational DBT curriculum to assist interns he supervises, and he enjoys using DBT as primary framework in treatment.
