DBT Intensive Training Description

Since its initial development in the 1980s DBT has been shown to be effective for an array of problems related to emotion dysregulation. We know severe emotion regulation difficulties result in persons facing multiple problems across many areas of life and that these problems manifest in a variety of ways. The principles of DBT were specifically designed for cases which often present therapists with novel challenges. One of the benefits of a principle-based treatment is that it can be versatile enough to accommodate the specific situations, cultures, and contexts of the persons it serves. DBT has been studied and implemented in multiple countries across the globe. 

DBT Intensive training is a comprehensive team-based program of study designed to provide teams with the knowledge and skills necessary to provide DBT. It focuses on both the establishment of comprehensive DBT programs and the clinical skills necessary to provide the treatment to persons with complex mental health problems. Intensive training in DBT includes 4 hours of content specific to risk assessment, management, and treatment of suicidal behaviors.  The program is divided into 2 parts that are designed to guide teams to accomplish four phases of DBT program implementation. While Parts 1 and 2 are described separately, they comprise a single program of study.  

DBT Intensive Training is a formal training course for clinicians who provide DBT treatment not only in North America but across the world. Through this training course, participants learn the fundamentals of DBT and receive professional consultation. Certificates are delivered to the institution of the team and to each member of the team after completing the DBT Intensive Training. Clinicians can take additional training or educational courses as well after completion of the Intensive Training.

*The description of DBT Intensive Training can be found in Behavioral Tech’s (DBT training institution in Seattle) website and we have included additional information that may be of interest for clinicians and related professionals in Korea.

DBT Intensive Training Structure

Part 1 (30 instructional hours) 

Preparation
Knowledge Acquisition

Part 2 (30 instructional hours) 

Implementation
Practice Improvement & Sustainability

In Part 1, lectures, demonstrations of treatment, and small group exercises are used to teach DBT theory and strategies in-depth. Upon conclusion of Part 1, participants consolidate and apply what they have learned with the help of practice assignments that are intended to guide the implementation process. Teams design and begin to implement their own DBT programs or to integrate DBT into an ongoing treatment setting. In Part 2, each team presents their work and receives expert consultation on specific cases and on their program, including protocols for specific treatment problems and adaptations of DBT. 

DBT Intensive Training that is planned to take place in Korea will be held for 5 days in 2023 and for 5 days as well in 2024. Both Part I and Part II of the program will be held in Seoul and include 60 hours of training in total.

Dr. DuBose’s interest in DBT developed when working with hospitalized youth at high-risk for suicide and self-injurious behaviors. That initial interest, and the outcomes he observed when using DBT, resulted in a career focused on increasing the reach of DBT. Working with Behavioral Tech has provided him the opportunity to engage his passion for providing high quality training in DBT in collaboration with many like-minded people. As the head of training for Behavioral Tech, has led a team of some of the world’s foremost experts in Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) since 2011.
