Dialectical Behavioural Therapy (DBT) is an innovative and unique treatment for Borderline Personality Disorder, which was developed by Professor Marsha Linehan. It has been widely used and is very popular in the USA and has become increasingly popular in Europe too.
Its success is due to effectively treating client groups whose emotional problems are particularly difficult to manage within a therapeutic relationship or an institutional setting. British Isles DBT Training is the only UK & Ireland based organisation that is affiliated with the Linehan institute; this aims to “advance leading edge behavioural technologies making compassionate and effective treatments available to all persons with complex and severe mental disorders”.
There are an array of DBT training courses available to book yourself on, all of which are designed to enhance your knowledge and extend your DBT skills through further training opportunities. You can visit their website to view their extensive range of DBT Training Courses and contact their team for further information.
In addition to training courses there is the option to complete on-site training. British Isles DBT Training can bring the training to you, if this is an avenue you are interested in. Any DBT Workshop mentioned on their website can be delivered directly into your organisation. There is a set fee for the training for numbers up to 40 delegates, plus you will also be required to provide a suitable training venue which meets their venue requirements.
If you are looking to train as an individual, there are also a variety of workshops available for you too. These are suitable as an insight into the treatment or for continued professional development (CPD). There is the DBT Taster Workshop (On-site only) which is designed to give you an overview of DBT. Other workshops are: Skills Essential in DBT, Suicide: DBT Protocol for Assessing & Managing Risk, Adapting your DBT Programme for Substance Use Disorders, DBT on the ‘Front Lines’ and Treating PTSD in DBT with High Risk Clients.
