DBT Assumptions About Patients, Therapists, and Treatment

To effectively conduct DBT, the therapist’s approach is that patients may not have caused all their problems but they have to solve them anyway.

In this presentation, Dr. Stephanie Vaughn, Psy.D., examines the main assumptions about patients and why they matter in DBT.

Here are some highlights we’ve extracted from this video:

1. Patients are doing the best they can and want to improve.
2. Patients may not have caused all their problems, but they have to solve them anyway.
3. Patients must learn new behaviors in all relevant contexts.
