Superb presentation, excellent materials. The result is the pulling together of the science and practice of psychology almost never seen anywhere
Excellent and impactful!
We specialise in introductory and intensive training for professionals who want to develop Radically Open DBT services for patients with severe and difficult-to-treat mental health problems, such as anorexia nervosa, chronic depression, obsessive-compulsive personality disorder and autism spectrum disorder.
We work with psychiatrists, psychologists, psychotherapists, social workers, coaches, counsellors, nurses, occupational therapists and other mental health professionals.
Prior training in standard DBT is not required.
