Written by the founder of RO DBT, Thomas Lynch, this is the first and only session-by-session training manual to help you implement this evidence-based therapy in your practice.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAs a clinician, you're familiar with dialectical behavioral therapy (DBT) and its success in treating clients with emotion dysregulation disorders. But what about clients with \u003ci\u003eovercontrol\u003c\/i\u003e disorders? OC has been linked to social isolation, aloof and distant relationships, cognitive rigidity, risk aversion, a strong need for structure, inhibited emotional expression, and hyper-perfectionism. And yet--perhaps due to the high value our society places on the capacity to delay gratification and inhibit public displays of destructive emotions and impulses--problems linked with OC have received little attention or been misunderstood. Indeed, people with OC are often considered highly successful by others, even as they suffer silently and alone.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eRO DBT is based on the premise that psychological well-being involves the confluence of three factors: receptivity, flexibility, and social-connectedness. RO DBT addresses each of these important factors, and is the first treatment in the world to prioritize social-signaling as the primary mechanism of change based on a transdiagnostic, neuroregulatory model linking the communicative function of human emotions to the establishment of social connectedness and well-being. As such, RO DBT is an invaluable resource for treating an array of disorders that center around overcontrol and a lack of social connectedness--such as anorexia nervosa, chronic depression, postpartum depression, treatment-resistant anxiety disorders, autism spectrum disorders, as well as personality disorders such as avoidant, dependent, obsessive-compulsive, and paranoid personality disorder.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIn this training manual, you'll find an outline of RO DBT, including history, research, and how it differs from traditional DBT. You'll also find a session-by-session RO DBT outpatient treatment protocol, with sections that outline the weekly, one-hour individual therapy sessions and weekly two-and-a-half hour skills training classes that occur over a period of approximately thirty weeks. This includes instructor guidelines and user-friendly worksheets.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe feasibility, acceptability, and efficacy of RO DBT is evidence-based and informed by over twenty years of translational treatment development research. This important manual--along with its companion book, \u003ci\u003eRadically Open Dialectical Behavior Therapy\u003c\/i\u003e (available separately), distills the essential components of RO DBT into a workable program you can start using right away to improve treatment outcomes for clients suffering with OC.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Context Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51939436953831,"sku":"9781626259317","price":64.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0449\/4075\/5096\/files\/imageloader_1eaa092c-5716-4532-bf55-9e20d8b9a62c.jpg?v=1775105281","url":"https:\/\/arvidabookco.com\/products\/the-skills-training-manual-for-radically-open-dialectical-behavior-therapy-a-clinicians-guide-for-treating-disorders-of-overcontrol","provider":"Arvida Book Co.","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
