Introduction to Radically Open Dialectical Behavior Therapy (RO DBT) for Disorders of Over-Control with Lindsay Johnson LPC, ACS, MSEd
Description
Radically Open Dialectical Behavior Therapy (RO DBT) is an evidence-based transdiagnostic treatment designed to increase openness, flexibility and social connectedness in people who experience mental health problems characterized by excessive inhibitory control or maladaptive overcontrol (Lynch, 2018a). These clients typically suffer from social isolation, perfectionism, and severe and difficult-to-treat mental health problems, including but not limited to chronic depression, anorexia nervosa, autism spectrum disorders and personality disorders. RO DBT has been developed and researched over the past 30 years. Current RO DBT research, training, and clinical work has extended to different age groups (adolescents, older adults, young adults), different disorders (anorexia, chronic depression, autism, personality disorders, treatment-resistant anxiety), different cultures and countries in Europe, North America, South America and Asia, and different settings (forensic, inpatient, outpatient).
This 3 hour live interactive webinar gives mental health practitioners who are not yet familiar with RO DBT an overview of what type of treatment RO DBT is. The aim is for clinicians to be able to make a more informed decision after attending this webinar on whether RO DBT is suitable for their clients.
