The DBT Masterclass.
The DBT Masterclass is a 4-day course from the Association for Psychological Therapies (APT), a leading provider of accredited Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) training courses in the USA.
It is the only DBT training that is APT Delegate Accredited and uniquely combines built-in APT Registration with automatic access to our renowned post-course resources to help you support your clients. It is available for both teams and individuals, face-to-face or online, and can also count towards the Extended Training DBT course.
Executive Summary:
The major teaching techniques on this course are case presentation and discussion, video-presentations, and reflective exercises, so delegates are expected to substantially develop both their knowledge and their skills during the four days.
Delegates have the opportunity to do several things:
- Enjoy discussion and assimilation of the application of DBT to the delegates' specific workplace. Opportunities to discuss (a) problems, and (b) circumstances where DBT has been especially effective are created.
- Deliver case presentations and discuss those presented by the tutor and other delegates.
- To study relevant video material demonstrating DBT in practise.
- To learn about and practice relatively more advanced DBT approaches such as irreverence and dialectical strategies.
- Insofar as they enter into case discussions and case presentations, to examine the application of DBT to specific presentations in addition to personality disorder, e.g. PTSD, eating disorders, suicidality, addictions etc.
Note: To attend this course you must have or be eligible for APT's DBT Registration, Level 3 and, because of the case material likely to be discussed, also have a professional qualification which insists upon patient confidentiality.
What this course will do for you:
- You will review your DBT practice so far and plan future work and developments.
- You will consider challenges towards implementing a successful DBT service within your place of work.
- You will review strategies that are working well and look to build a template of success.
- You will discuss complex cases and problem solve with an experienced DBT clinician.
- You will prepare and present your own case presentation, choosing issues you would like to consider.
- You will build your own feelings of self-efficacy and confidence using the DBT model.
- You may consider how to apply DBT to help clients with specific difficulties in your areas of work (such as with people with PTSD, eating disorders, substance misuse).
- You will add to your repertoire of DBT skills and practice new and familiar techniques in a supportive learning environment.
- You will take part in a DBT consult group and look at the roles required within these.
- You will participate in group supervision to consider the structure of DBT services within your organization as well as clinical aspects.
- You will review your own practice and ensure you are sticking to the ‘DBT model’ as far as you are aiming to do.
- You will have the chance to discuss best practice and innovative methods of using DBT within the confines of the resources you have available.
- You will gain APT’s DBT Level 4 Registration (assuming you already have Level 3 APT Registration and 6 months’ experience working with DBT necessary to attend this masterclass).
