0118 - Dialectical Behaviour Therapy (DBT) Assessment and Case Conceptualization
Course Description
In dialectical behaviour therapy (DBT), case conceptualization uses the principles and the protocols of the treatment to assess client goals and behaviours, develop a targeted treatment plan, and provide accurate interventions that ultimately bring the client to his/her life worth living goals. Case conceptualization in DBT is an iterative process, starting with the initial orientation sessions and continuing to be refined throughout the entirety of treatment.
The purpose of this workshop is to guide participants in conducting comprehensive DBT assessment during the first four orientation sessions, using the core principles and dialectical strategies to develop an initial case conceptualization.

- Develop target hierarchy.
- Apply biosocial theory to assessment procedures.
