Smith College School for Social Work is pleased to cosponsor a new Dialectical Behavior Therapy training collaboration with Cutchins Programs for Children and Families, a leading Massachusetts provider of children and family services!
DBT is an empirically supported intervention shown to be effective for individuals with serious self-harming behavior. Drawing on cognitive behavioral principles, research indicates that DBT offers an important way to intervene with individuals with borderline personality disorder (BPD), difficulties with emotional regulation, substance dependence, depression, eating disorders and post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD).
The first upcoming training in the collaboration will be led by Charles Swenson, M.D., and Kelly Koerner, Ph.D.
