What People Say About Our Courses

Laura KabbashPsychologist - New Brunswick, Canada

I love the therapy demonstrations - they are SO realistic! The course is ABSOLUTELY worthwhile in terms of increasing confidence working with high risk clients.

Deborah ZlotnikPsychologist - Washington D.C., DC, USA

My team found it extremely helpful. It really helped to prepare us to implement DBT on our inpatient unit and start a small comprehensive outpatient program. It was good for people with different levels of exposure to DBT at baseline and we formed a cohesive team. I think it is worthwhile to learn or relearn skills together, meet with a consultant and be able to develop a true DBT team. I think without the training we would not be as far into the development of a DBT program if we were to rely on our own individual learning or the knowledge of one person with the most of knowledge of DBT. We were able to discuss concerns or barriers with the consultant. It helped give us space to conceptualize and strategize about steps we want to take to develop our program. It gave us a common language and framework since not all team members had exposure to DBT before.

Sanda FranicPsychiatrist - Oslo, Norway

This is valuable training for every therapist who wants to give skills to his/her patient. Because this course gave me a lot of theoretical and practical knowledge. The most important thing is that I realized there are many things that I do very good and this is an opportunity for further development and enhancement. I love Marsha and I love the course.

Frida FalkPsychiatrist - Sweden

I've learned so much from the person who actually invented and thought through the whole therapy. So intelligent and clear. I'm a fan :)

Paul BlankenshipCounselor - Fort Worth, TX, USA

My sincerest gratitude to Dr. Marsha Linehan, Dr. Jill Rathus, and Dr. Alec Miller for the exceptional content and presentation of the DBTA material. It was thorough, concise, evidence-based, informative, practical, enjoyable, and, above all, presented in a way that made it highly applicable in a variety of settings. Thank you for putting together such a high-quality presentation and formatting it in nice easy chunks to digest. Worth every penny and second of time spent!

Nathan TrimblePsychologist - NSW, Australia

Short, snappy, visually-dense videos are helpful for learning. It has been the clearest explanation of DBT I have experienced. Also, the content itself is so useful for the population I serve - traumatised young people.
