COURSE DESCRIPTION
Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT) is utilized to help those that struggle with intense experiences of emotion dysregulation. Yet, when one thinks of psychosis, an experience that can greatly disrupt one’s ability to engage in emotional regulation, DBT is not commonly thought of as a therapeutic intervention. By examining the existing research and best practices, we will explore DBT and DBT-informed concepts and principles that benefit clients with Psychotic Spectrum Disorders. Along the way, we will discuss barriers to providing effective treatment with this population who is overlooked and highly marginalized by general society as well as the field of mental health.
CONTINUING EDUCATION AND LEARNING OBJECTIVES
Upon completion of this two-day workshop, participants will be able to:
- Describe current research on emotion regulation amongst people experiencing psychosis.
- Learn about the prevalence of emotion dysregulation and trauma amongst people with Psychotic Spectrum Disorders.
- Understand the spectrum of psychosis as it applies to people who benefit from DBT, both those with Psychotic Spectrum Disorders as well as with Borderline Personality Disorder.
- Offer adherent DBT and DBT-informed skills and interventions that are optimized for people with Psychotic Spectrum Disorders.
- Discuss experiences of psychosis openly in individual therapy and skills group.
- Employ person-centered, non-pathologizing language to describe psychotic experiences.
- Anticipate how a stigmatizing environment may punish certain healthy coping behaviors in people experiencing psychosis.
