> Borderline personality disorder (BPD) is a pervasive problem afflicting 1% to 2% of the general population, as many as 10% of the outpatient population, and up to 20% of inpatients.  Patients with BPD experience a tremendous amount of suffering, often to the point where they may take their own lives. Up to 10% of patients with BPD commit suicide and 75% attempt suicide.  Dialectical-behavioral therapy (DBT) is a multi-modal, empirically-supported therapy developed as a treatment for BPD.
> DBT conceptualizes BPD as a pervasive disorder of the emotion regulation system that arises from the transaction of a biological predisposition to emotional vulnerability and emotional learning within an invalidating environment. As a result, individuals with BPD experience tremendous problems including interpersonal difficulties, self-injurious behaviors, and suicidal behaviors. DBT incorporates the principles of dialectical philosophy, Zen, and behavior therapy to treat these problems. DBT utilizes several modes of therapy and teaches skills in several areas to help patients who experience a tremendous amount of suffering to build a life worth living.
> The biosocial theory of BPD will be introduced as a way of understanding and conceptualizing individuals entering into DBT.  The structure and targets of the DBT will be described.  The modes of DBT including skills training, individual therapy, telephone consultation, and therapist consultation team will be discussed.  Finally, workshop participants will learn about some of the core strategies and techniques used in employing DBT, including behavior therapy strategies, validation and acceptance strategies, and dialectical strategies.
