About this course
Dialectical behavior therapy (DBT) is an evidence-based treatment designed to reduce self-injurious behaviors, decrease suicide risk, and enhance skillful behavior. This lecture will present the three main dialectical dilemmas established by Marsha Linehan that client's receiving DBT experience. The lecture will also review how these dilemma's show up in session with clients, and how providers can effectively treat them with clients. There are no known risks to attendees or patients. As with all clinical interventions, attendees should be thoughtful about applying DBT skills and strategies without appropriate training and supervision.
Target Audience

Disclosure
This presentation on the three main dialectical dilemmas in Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) provides accurate, evidence-based information to help providers effectively implement DBT. The goal is to equip providers with practical tools to improve their therapeutic work and client outcomes. However, providers should be mindful of the risks, including the potential for overgeneralization and the importance of recognizing DBT’s limitations—it may not be suitable for all clients or situations. Supervision and ongoing education are recommended to ensure effective application and address challenges that may arise in clinical practice.
