I am excited to be able to announce a project that we have been working on behind the scenes for ISITDBT for this November 2012. This new afternoon seminar will be presented to all ISITDBT attendees this year. NOTE: Within our ISITDBT day, we will also continue to offer the types of ISITDBT workshops that you have come to know and love. Those standard workshop choices are limited to two as noted in a prior posting, due to the space limitations of ABCT this year. These traditional ISITDBT workshops will be provided in the morning this year.
NEW Seminar information: To enhance the mindful use of DBT strategies by DBT clinicians in sessions, we would like to bring you into actual DBT sessions in a deepened way. This afternoon seminar involves watching video segments from two DBT sessions with discussions by DBT experts about the application of DBT strategies that had occurred within those sessions. There will be attention given to both the effective parts of the session and also those parts of the session that may be considered to be inconsistent with DBT. Such attention to mindful awareness of therapist’s use of DBT strategies within sessions is hoped to be helpful both to clinicians who are readying themselves for future DBT Certification exams and video review, as well as to any DBT practitioner who wants to be more mindful, planful, and strategic therapists for their clients.
I am honored that the leaders of this workshop are some of the foremost leaders in DBT research and practice today. Katie Korslund, PhD, ABPP, will be with us this year for our new workshop, which is quite a coup as she typically is providing Master Clinician Seminars for ABCT during our ISITDBT day. Katie is the Associate Director of the Behavioral Research and Therapy Clinics at the University of Washington. We are also joined by Jennifer Sayrs, PhD, ABPP, from the Evidence Based Treatment Centers of Seattle and the University of Washington. And from the other side of the United States, Shireen Rizvi, PhD, joins us from Rutgers University. You will of course know Shireen as the ISITDBT Program Chairperson for the prior two year’s ISITDBT Conferences.
Enjoy,
Adam
