Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) Dialectical
Behavior Therapy is a program for people who struggle to cope with intense
emotions. This program is the result of extensive research based on
clients with Borderline Personality Disorder and substance abuse. The
treatment has been extended to work with people who struggle with weight
management or post traumatic stress disorder, and DBT also has been
extended to adolescents. At Wake Kendall the clients tend to suffer
from anxiety, depression or borderline personality disorder, and all
of them experience frequent emotional dysregulation. Participants must
commit to DBT adherent therapy which means weekly individual treatment
and skills group sessions. Therapists and skills group leaders work
as a consultation team. Phone consultation with clients and close collaboration
with outside therapists and psycho-pharmacologists are important components
of the program. Six Wake Kendall therapists have been intensively trained
by the Linehan group in Seattle. For more information visit behavioraltech.org. |
