Overview
People struggling with maladaptive perfectionism, loneliness, social anxiety and restrictive eating disorders suffer greatly - and may often be described as ‘treatment resistant’. RO DBT is an evidence-based treatment which has been shown in clinical trials to help with these problems.
This 90-minute live webinar gives mental health practitioners (e.g. psychology, psychiatry, social work, mental health nursing) who are not yet familiar with RO DBT an overview of the treatment and the clinical population it is designed to treat. There will also be time for questions.
The aim is for clinicians to be able to make a more informed decision after attending this webinar on whether or not RO DBT is suitable for their clients and whether they want to learn how to practice RO DBT.
Learning Objectives.
After attending this webinar, you will be able to:
- List the four core deficits of overcontrol
- Describe what Radical Openness is
- Evaluate whether RO DBT might be a suitable treatment for your clients
Intended Audience & Content Level: Apart from a professional qualification in a mental health or related field (e.g. psychology, psychiatry, social work, mental health nursing) there are no further prerequisites for the webinar. This webinar is at the introductory/beginner level: no previous knowledge of RO DBT or standard DBT is required.
Brief summary of RO DBT: Radically Open Dialectical Behavior Therapy (RO DBT) is a treatment for patients who suffer from emotional and behavioral over-control. Some clients lack emotional control and need interventions designed to enhance emotional and behavioral control; others, for whom RO DBT is designed, require interventions designed to relax rigid or inflexible control. RO DBT has been researched over the past 25 years for patients with chronic depression or anorexia nervosa. Research results suggest that it is effective in these, and other, hard-to-treat groups such as Autism Spectrum Disorders and Obsessive Compulsive Personality Disorder.
Please note: This is a 90-minute introductory webinar – the comprehensive RO DBT implementation trainings comprise 52-64 hours of blended learning (online and in-person training courses). More details can be found on our website.
