TADBiT Two-Day DBT Workshop

Eric N. Gadol, PhD, & Martha Golden, PsyD

In this workshop, Drs. Golden and Gadol will present the foundational knowledge and skills of Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT). Clients with borderline personality disorder have been known as a challenging population among mental health professionals for decades, and DBT was developed to treat this population. Since this beginning, DBT has been successfully delivered to many other populations, and more clients are benefiting from DBT treatment. Drs. Golden and Gadol will cover the empirical support for the DBT and the core principles of DBT treatment, covering the theoretical understandings of borderline personality disorder, the assumptions and agreements about therapy in DBT, the structure of DBT treatment, and the skills that clients learn in DBT. Participants will earn 12 hours of Category A continuing education credit approved by the American Psychological Association (additonal fee required for certification).
This workshop is intended for mental health professionals (psychologists, psychiatrists, social workers, nurses, etc.) who have a beginner's level of experience with Dialectical Behavior Therapy.
