The publication of the 2nd edition of Dr. Marsha Linehan’s DBT Skills Training Manual in 2015 greatly expanded the skills available for clients struggling with a range of psychological problems. The second edition is more than 4 times the length of the first and includes a booklet of new handouts.This special 2-part training explores many of the new DBT skills. Part 1, presented in May 2016, focused on updates to the Mindfulness and Distress Tolerance skills. Part 2, the focus of this current workshop, will address important updates to the DBT Interpersonal Effectiveness and Emotion Regulation Skills.

By the end of this training, participants should be able to:

• Identify and describe at least three new DBT Interpersonal Effectiveness Skills.
