learning
act

reflect
plan
What is DBT?
A mix of behaviour therapy
validation and
Zen practice
in context of dialectical
thinking about change
How Dialectics views the
world
 Reality is interrelated and whole
(don’t just look at parts look at
whole)
 Reality isn’t static but made up
of internal opposing forces
THESIS ANTITHESIS
SYNTHESIS
Dialectical view of thinking
 Both-and NOT either-or
 Black and white and extreme
thinking = not dialectical
 Individual is unable to move to
synthesis
 Can be translated as ‘value
opposites and find the middle
way’
Emotional dysregulation
Low threshold
High
intensity
Long
recovery

Invalidating environments

by erratic, inappropriate and extreme
responses
 Expression of private emotion is
punished/trivialised - Invalidated
 Intolerant of expressed emotion
 ‘Perfect environments/perfect child’ Be happy,
never give in, there’s nothing you can’t do’
 Behaviours attributed to manipulation/not
trying/hostility

Twin Tasks of DBT
 INCREASE
skills
 DECREASE
problematic &
unskilful
behaviour
Individual therapy
◦ Target behaviours list
◦ Create a context of validation rather
than blaming
◦ Block or extinguish maladaptive
behaviours
◦ Drag out effective behaviours
◦ Make the effective behaviours so
reinforcing that the client stops
using the maladaptive ones!
Further work
 (Linehan)
Stage 2: PTSD
Stage 3: achieve self-
validation and self-respect
problem-
solving
validation
client therapist
Validation (acceptance)
1. Find the nugget of wisdom somewhere
in what the client says/does!
2. Observe and believe in client’s ability to
get out of the misery that is her life and
build a life worth living
Play to client’s strengths, not her fragility
Problem solving (change)
 Analyse target behaviours (chain analysis)
 Solution analyses
 Orient client to solution
 Get commitment to engage
 Do it!
irreverent reciprocal
Interpersonal styles
Consultation to the client
 Strong bias towards client being her own
case manager
 Therapist coaches client how to solve
problems herself
 Inappropriate behaviour of professionals
regarded as learning opportunity
Consultation to the environment
 Interventions by DBT therapists to
change the environment, solve
problems, co-ordinate professional
treatment are used when
1. It is important
2. Client clearly is not capable of producing
the outcome
Treating the therapist
 Supervision
 Case consultation
 Consult group
 Stay in DBT frame
 Treatment of the therapist is integral to
the therapy
Telephone consultation
 Inhibition of asking for help
 Asking for help abusively, demandingly
 Phone provides practice in changing these
patterns
 Generalisation of skills
 Repair of relationship
DBT assumptions
 Clients are
doing the best
they can
 Clients want to
improve
 Clients need to
do better, try
harder
 Clients may
not have
caused all
their problems
but have to
solve them
anyway
DBT assumptions
 Suicidal clients’
lives are
unbearable as
currently lived
 Clients must
learn new
behaviours in all
relevant
contexts
 Clients cannot
fail in therapy
DBT therapist assumptions
 Therapists treating
clients with BPD
need support
 Therapists should
show:
 Warm empathy
 Persistent focus
 Endless hope
 Dialectical view
 Non-
judgmental
stance
 Practice DBT on
themselves and
each other
