DBT in Action: In-Session Client Demonstration – Lane Pederson

Proof of item:

Dialectical Behavior Therapy is one of the most in-demand evidence-based treatments for complex and difficult to treat clinical presentations.  Despite DBT’s popularity, there are few coherent examples of DBT individual therapy in action.

Expert author, trainer, and therapist Dr. Lane Pederson answers the call with a session that highlights DBT essentials.  Complete with a session introduction and post-session analysis, Dr. Pederson effectively demonstrates:

• The use of treatment structure to provide containment and focus, including the use of the treatment hierarchy
• The incorporation of mindfulness
• The use of the diary card to prioritize and set an agenda when presented with multiple problems
• The development of awareness and skill-building with behavioral analysis
• The use of homework to apply skills outside of treatment

Strengths-based and client-centered, Dr. Pederson illuminates DBT with veracity that will improve the practice of DBT therapists of all levels.

• Determine the structure of an individual DBT session
• Identify treatment targets with the diary card
• Analyze target behaviors and apply skills with behavioral analysis

• Treatment Structure
• Incorporating Mindfulness
• The Diary Card
