Psychologists and psychiatrists who wish to apply the DBT technique to their patients.

DBT training is designed to be developed in a collective way. Thus, it is possible to register teams of up to 8 people or, if the registration is made individually, the participant will be included in a group determined by the organization of the event, which takes into account criteria of geographical proximity of the participants. During the entire training process (1 year), the participants commit to working in their respective teams in the face-to-face or online modalities, as determined by the group itself.

All participants should read the books below, preferably before the first day of Part I. In addition, participants receive a study script that must be carried out by the end of the training.

Books:
– Linehan. MM (2018) DBT, DBT skills training: dialectical behavioral therapy manual for therapist – 2 ed. Porto Alegre: Artmed.
– Linehan. MM (2018) DBT, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy for Borderline Personality Disorder: Therapist’s Guide and Patient’s Guide. Porto Alegre: Artmed.

The training is conducted in two sessions of five days of classes each, with simultaneous translation. It is currently offered in the online modality. In between sessions, from 6 to 9 months, studies and tasks are performed with your work team. This period is accompanied by a Portuguese-speaking mentor from DBT Brazil.

The registration fee is $2,500.00 and refers to parts I and II of the Intensive DBT Training. It comprises a total of 10 days of coursework and assistance with trained mentors during the interval between parts I and II. The investment is individual, and the value is converted at the exchange rate of the day of joining. It can be paid in installments according to the registration date, by means of bank slips. Participants are expected to attend the training in its entirety in a committed and willing manner. Due to the comprehensive nature of the training, there are no cancellations, lock-ins, or substitutions available. The amount is non-refundable.

You must complete the application form to be evaluated and approved by BTech before you can pay for your application.
