COMPLETE COURSE DESCRIPTION:
--------------------------------------------------------
Welcome to our informative course about Dialectical Behavior Therapy or DBT. I'm excited to introduce you to this vital topic and teach you how psychologists use this type of therapy to help patients.
While psychologists often use dialectical behavior therapy, they aren't the only ones who will benefit from this knowledge. Social workers, professional counselors, educators, school personnel, mental health professionals, clinicians, health and human service practitioners, and other health care professionals can all utilize DBT.
In this course, I'll teach you what DBT is and how to become a trained dialectical behavior therapist. I'll also discuss techniques employed by DBT therapists, including psychotherapy, mindfulness training, distress tolerance, emotional regulation, and more.
Later on, we’ll examine how DBT can be used to treat various mental illnesses, including depression, borderline personality disorder, anxiety, substance abuse, and eating disorders.
Lastly, we'll discuss some case studies to illustrate DBT's effectiveness.
I hope you're excited to begin this course and learn everything there
is to know about dialectical behavior therapy. Thanks for being here.

DBT stands for Dialectical Behavior Therapy.
The word "Dialectical" references two things that appear to be opposites but are both true.
For example, a person with mental illness has to accept that they have a mental illness. They also need to go to therapy to learn skills to cope or rid themselves of mental illness. So, the "dialectical" aspect is that patients must accept their mental illness and want to get better simultaneously.
DBT therapists look at opposing sides of a patient and accept them both as true. The therapist's goal is to change the patient and try to accept them at the same time. Within this balance is where they find true healing.
People with suicidal tendencies and Borderline Personality Disorder or BPD were the original targets for DBT therapy. Eventually, it was found that DBT could be adapted to address various mental health issues.
They found that DBT was able to help patients gain the skills to manage their thoughts, emotions, and actions.
Later, therapists began incorporating other therapeutic strategies into DBT, including cognitive behavioral therapy, mindfulness training, meditation, behaviorism techniques, and dialectics. Combining these techniques into a structured program was a novel development that resulted in a better patient experience.
