Overview
This introductory workshop explores the essential components of Radically Open DBT, an evidence-based approach for individuals presenting with maladaptive over control. Self-control, the ability to inhibit competing urges, impulses, or behaviors is highly valued by most societies. However, excessive self-control has been linked to social isolation, aloof interpersonal functioning, maladaptive perfectionism, constricted emotional expressions, and difficult-to-treat mental health problems, such as anorexia nervosa, obsessive-compulsive personality disorder, and refractory depression.
Learning Objectives
Upon completion of this one-day training, participants will be able to:
- Explain a new biosocial theory for OC
- Describe the RO-DBT treatment structure
- Describe new RO-DBT treatment strategies designed to enhance willingness for self-inquiry and flexible responding.
- Describe the RO-DBT treatment hierarchy
- Describe a novel treatment mechanism positing open expression = trust = social connectedness
- List examples of strategies designed to improve pro-social cooperative signaling via activation of the parasympathetic nervous system’s social-safety system
Intended Audience:
Clinicians with a professional qualification in a mental health-related field (e.g. psychology, psychiatry, social work, mental health nursing) with an interest in knowing more about Radically Open DBT
