RO DBT Training
One Day Introduction to Radically Open Dialectical Behavior Therapy Workshop

However, excessive self-control has been linked to social isolation, aloof interpersonal functioning, maladaptive perfectionism, constricted emotional expressions, and difficult-to-treat mental health problems, such as anorexia nervosa, obsessive compulsive personality disorder and refractory depression. The aim of this workshop is to introduce clinicians to the theoretical foundations and new skills underlying Radically Open-Dialectical Behavior Therapy (RO-DBT) for disorders of overcontrol. Karyn Hall, Ph.D., a certified RO DBT supervisor, is the presenter.
