DBT with Families

This intermediate training focuses on applying DBT principles and strategies in family therapy—helping clinicians assess family targets, conduct family sessions, and address transactional patterns of emotion dysregulation and invalidation while maintaining adherence to DBT principles. Participants will learn how to use their existing DBT knowledge to engage entire families, with special attention given to addressing clinicians’ hesitation and fears about family work and to developing confidence in using DBT with complex family systems.
