Enrollment for 2008-2009 year of the DBT learning community has closed.
What is a Learning Community?
A group of peers bound together by the desire to continuously seek and share learning and to act on what they learn.
How It Works: Connect, Learn, Contribute
- Become a member of the learning community.
- View, at your convenience, presentations and podcasts to learn or review key DBT concepts and strategies.
- Practice these concepts and strategies with exercises easily integrated into work in your team and with clients.
- Share questions, ideas and resources with other members and an expert DBT facilitator, Kelly Koerner, Ph.D.
Current resources include basic DBT topics (e.g., “The First Four Sessions of Individual DBT”; “Case Formulation and Treatment Planning for Stage 1”; “Phone Coaching”; “Treating Therapy Interfering Behavior”; “The Jazz of Skills Training in Individual DBT”) as well as great talks on behavior therapy principles and procedures. Check out either of these free demos - Alan Fruzzetti or Kelly Wilson - to get a sense of how podcasts might work for you.

FAQs
“Is any special equipment required?” No. If you have a high-speed internet connection that lets you easily download files and an email account, you’re all set.
“How experienced/knowledgeable about DBT should I be?” You should have read Linehan’s (1993) Cognitive-Behavior Therapy for Borderline Personality Disorder and have good familiarity with its concepts. You should be providing DBT individual psychotherapy. Beyond that, this format allows folks to pace their own learning: study to fill-in gaps or skim to refresh your memory; share expertise and jump into conversations of interest.
