DBT Case Formulation: Matching goals to targets

A 90 minute web-based training

Formulating problems according to DBT principles while starting work with a person struggling with emotion dysregulation and high risk behaviour can be like trying to do complex algebra in the middle of a motorway.  This session focusses on a key aspect of formulation; identifying and prioritising therapy targets and ensuring these are based on the person's goals for their life. Participants are invited to discuss cases that they are struggling to conceptualise from a DBT standpoint, provided no identifying details are included.  The session will use a blend of teaching, clinical examples, individual case work, and discussion to focus on the client's goals, and the target hierarchy in DBT conceptualisation.

This web-based training includes sensitive and private material and examples. Please join in a confidential setting where others cannot see or hear the content of the training.
