Study Notes
DBT Skills Training Limits
- Skills trainers are not individual therapists during training sessions, focusing on teaching skills and interpersonal dynamics
- Clients can contact trainers only under specific conditions (e.g., missed session, serious interpersonal conflicts)
- Three exceptions exist: (1) backup therapist for a client also receiving individual DBT, (2) multifamily skills training for adolescents also in individual DBT, (3) trainers on inpatient/residential units may provide ad hoc coaching
Specific Phone Call Limits
- Trainers should clarify the role of individual therapists in the overall DBT program, emphasizing that trainers do not duplicate this role.
- Clients in skills-only programs without individual therapy should be advised to contact crisis lines.
- Most phone-related interactions are focused on relationship issues and problems within the group
- Skills trainers must be alert to clients who repeatedly request individual time, suggesting needing more intensive help than provided in skills training. Individual therapy may be recommended.
Additional Training Limits
- During the first year, personal crises are not typically discussed in skills training sessions. (Exceptions made for extreme crises)
- The focus of sessions is on developing skills, rather than problem-solving crises personally involving other group members.
- The way crises are handled is crucial with the focus being on using skills to cope, not necessarily solving the problem itself.
- Skills training focuses on changing the individual, not other people in the client's life.
- The focus is on helping clients develop skills to manage their own lives/relationships, not on changing others.
- Process issues, individual crises, and general life discussions should not be the focus of skills training sessions
- Observing one's limits in conducting training is crucial for skills training leaders, equivalent to other DBT components.
