BAMI presents:

Dialectical Behavior Therapy is a therapeutic approach developed by psychology researcher Marsha Linehan, PhD. Although initially developed to treat patients with borderline personality disorder and chronic suicidal ideation, extensive research has shown its effectiveness in the treatment of other disorders such as bulimia, depression, anxiety, addiction and more.

This workshop assumes familiarity with DBT through formal training or, at a minimum, through working in a DBT program. It is also appropriate for those who lack DBT training but who have advanced training in psychodrama. Our goal is to give group leaders new and tested methods for teaching DBT skills and to provide psychodramatists with some new possibilities for applying the skills they already know. 

What You Will Learn in a DBT in Action Workshop:

During this training you will learn how to apply psychodramatic and sociodramatic techniques to teaching the core skills of: a. Mindfulness 
b. Distress Tolerance
c. Emotional Regulation
d. Interpersonal communication

This workshop is NOT an introduction to DBT
