Study Notes
Skills Training Treatment Targets and Procedures
- DBT skills training is problem-focused, using validation and problem-solving strategies
- Individuals differ in self-regulation styles, some leaning towards environmental regulation
- Skills training should build on client strengths, focusing on reinforcing skilled behaviors
- Therapists should teach clients to maximize environmental reinforcement of skilled behaviors
- Techniques may involve creating structure, public commitments, finding supportive communities, and eliciting reinforcement from others
- Written self-monitoring is often better than mental notes
- Fading principles should be used to gradually reduce trainer instruction and reinforcement
- Family and couple sessions can be used to broaden skills generalization
Family and Couple Sessions
- DBT skills can be taught to family members/spouses for broader generalization
- Skills training can include parents or care providers in families
- Families can practice skills together and mutually support each other's development
- Skills training can be offered for friends and family of adults in DBT
Use of Fading Principles
- Skill training initially uses modeling, instruction, feedback, and coaching
- Gradually reduce trainer influence to increase client independence
- This involves less frequent instructions, coaching, and reinforcement
Managing Review of Skills
- Practice homework is essential for skill application in real-world
- Analyze problem cases, with behavioral analysis and solution analysis
- Problem understanding involves defining problems, patterns, and factors interfering with skill use
- Generate solutions and encourage implementation, troubleshooting problems and rationale
When the Skills Did Not Help
- If a client reports using skills but not experiencing benefits, leaders should use problem-solving through behavioral analysis
- Detailed examination of what went wrong is needed
- Encourage and reinforce constructive client feedback on themselves and others in the group
When a Client Did Not Do Any Homework Practice
- Analysis of noncompliance is key
- Common reasons include not wanting to, forgetting, or lack of occasion to practice
- Emotional regulation issues often play a role, like shame or fear of judgment
- Addressing motivational issues is critical; explore underlying reasons like avoidance or lack of understanding
- Provide support and build on the practice if client made an attempt
Analyzing Motivation to Complete Homework Practice
- Analyze comments like "I didn't do it, I didn't want to," with specific analysis to understand if behaviors were avoided or not done effectively
- The client should be validated, with non-judgmental hypotheses offered as solutions to reinforce motivation, as it may derive from learned behaviors from previous therapies
- Focus on analyzing barriers and solutions to increase the use of skills
