Description
Integrating Dialectical Behavior Therapy with the Twelve Steps is a one-of-a-kind curriculum that incorporates the evidence-based therapies of Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) and Twelve Step Facilitation (TSF). Combined, these two therapies help strengthen clients’ recovery from substance use disorders.
In this innovative two-day training, Ms. Platter and Mr. Cabral will summarize evidence-based literature that supports the use of these therapies in clinical practice, discuss the similarities of DBT and TSF, and provide examples of the connection between both modalities. Participants will learn how Twelve Step readings from the Big Book of Alcoholics Anonymous and the Narcotics Anonymous Basic Text reinforce DBT skills. Conversely, the participants will learn how DBT philosophy reinforces key concepts of Twelve Step philosophy.
This is an interactive training; participants will complete worksheets from the curriculum as each of the skills are presented. There will be ample time for discussion about how to effectively use the worksheets in individual therapy,coaching sessions, and psychoeducational groups.
