What is DBT?
Bio Social Theory: DBT Theory that the Problem Behaviors of Emotionally Dysregulated Individuals Stem from a Combination of Biological and Environmental Factors. Specifically, these Factors are a Biological Vulnerability to Emotional Dysregulation and an Invalidating Social Environment (an Environment where Coaching in Emotion Regulation is Inadequate and Dysfunctional Learning Takes Place) (Linehan, 1993)
Dialectics: DBT ACCEPTANCE…. . Vs. …. . CHANGE STUDENTS ARE DOING THE BEST THEY CAN…. AND…. THEY NEED TO DO BETTER
Non-Judgmental View of Behavior “Effective” Behavior: Does Not Make Problems Worse. Causes No Harm to Self, Others, Property. Keeps Us on Track Toward Achieving Life Goals. Versus…. . Ineffective Behavior…. That Served a Purpose in Face of True Threat of Traumatic Situation and has outlived it’s usefulness.
Basic Assumptions of DBT People are Doing the Best They Can. People Want to Improve. People Must Learn New Behaviors both in Therapy and in the Context of Their Day to Day Lives. People Cannot Fail in DBT. People May Not Have Caused All of Their Problems, but They Have to Solve Them Anyway. People Need to do Better, Try Harder and be More Motivated to Change The Lives of Dysregulated People are Unbearable.
DBT Skill Modules: Mindfulness
