Because of its emphasis on self-regulation and a wide range of problem behaviors, DBT can be readily applied to sex offender treatment programming. In this workshop, participants will learn about DBT’s method of conceptualizing and addressing client problems, important strategies for engaging offenders in treatment using this approach, and DBT skills. Important updates from the most recent DBT skills manual will also be addressed. be discussed.
