Chats with Trainers: Incorporating Dialectical Dilemmas into DBT Case Formulation

This event has sold out! Please join the waiting list.

Description
In DBT we refer to conceptualizations of difficulties that arise in treatment as either dialectical dilemmas or secondary targets. Many clinicians report confusion about how to incorporate these into treatment. When referring to them as secondary targets the pressing question is how do you treat them in the context of primary targets. Another take on these as dialectical dilemmas offers the possibility of enriching case formulation by using these dialectical dilemmas as sources of hypothesis generation when patients don’t clearly articulate their experience. The discussion will focus on how to generate hypotheses and incorporate these into DBT case formulations, while keeping in mind the behavioral science principles and staying as close as possible to observable behaviors in defining problems.

 

Learning Objective
As a result of this event participants will be able to incorporate hypotheses to include in DBT case formulation based on dialectical dilemmas experienced by persons with borderline personality disorder.
