Introduction to Radically Open Dialectical Behavior Therapy with Application to Athletes, Eating Disorders and Other Special Populations

Presented by Danielle Doucette, PsyD, CEDS-C and Abby Brown, PsyD

Radically Open Dialectical Behavior Therapy (RO DBT), is an evidence-based and transdiagnostic treatment for disorders characterized by excessive over-control, which in excess can negatively impact relationships and exacerbate mental health difficulties. It has shown to be effective in treating chronic depression, treatment-resistant anxiety, eating disorders, and other special populations, such as overcontrolled athletes. The core skills, interventions, and underlying theory of RO DBT vary quite considerably from other treatment approaches. In this presentation, the audience will leave with a solid understanding of who may benefit from RO DBT. We will engage the audience with case examples, providing specific illustrations of how RO DBT skills were used with overcontrolled athletes and those with eating disorders.

Learning Objectives:

Participants will develop an understanding of the biopsychosocial model and the main treatment targets in RO DBT.
Participants will learn what differentiates RO DBT from other treatments, and how RO DBT has been used to address eating disorders and overcontrolled athletes.
Participants will learn to assess individuals to determine who would benefit from RO DBT.
