Part 2: How DBT Decides
Part 1 establishes the clinical foundation for the series by focusing on how DBT conceptualizes clients, behavior, therapist role, and treatment priorities. Part 2 builds on that foundation by teaching how DBT organizes assessment into clear targets and priorities. Rather than teaching comprehensive DBT protocols, this training centers on the decision-making structure that helps clinicians identify what matters most, select the next treatment step, and leave sessions with a clear between-session plan that fits the target. Part 2 also applies dialectical thinking to targeting decisions.
This training is appropriate for clinicians who are not providing comprehensive DBT and want to practice DBT-informed care with greater structure and precision. It supports clinicians in making clearer target decisions, strengthening between-session work, and improving treatment direction while staying within scope and ethical practice guidelines. Part 2 functions as a standalone training and also prepares participants for Part 3, which focuses on applying DBT interventions and skill-based strategies that match the target.
