Pdf Summary

This document describes a 3-hour live webinar titled <strong>“Dialectical Therapy: An Applied Overview”</strong> by <strong>Amy Hoch, PsyD</strong> of Rowan University, offered as part of the <strong>2026–2027 Supervisors Training Day</strong>. The presentation provides an intermediate-level overview of <strong>Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT)</strong>, focusing on its theoretical foundations, evidence base, and practical clinical application.

Key topics include DBT’s core principles of <strong>acceptance, change, and dialectical strategies</strong>, as well as hands-on practice with <strong>behavioral chain analysis</strong> and the five DBT skill modules: <strong>distress tolerance, mindfulness, emotion regulation, interpersonal effectiveness, and walking the middle path</strong>. The program emphasizes DBT’s <strong>transdiagnostic usefulness</strong> and its application with clients who have <strong>PTSD</strong>, including how trauma and “traumatic invalidation” can affect treatment.

The stated learning objectives are for participants to understand the <strong>biosocial model</strong>, the impact of PTSD on standard DBT, how to use a <strong>diary card</strong>, how to conduct a behavioral chain analysis, and how to identify one skill from each DBT module.

Dr. Hoch is presented as a licensed psychologist and trauma-focused clinician with extensive experience in <strong>DBT, DBT for PTSD, Trauma-Focused CBT, and Radically Open DBT</strong>. She also provides training, consultation, and supervision on trauma-related issues.

The document also includes continuing education details: the webinar offers <strong>3 credits</strong>, is sponsored by <strong>PCOM</strong>, and is approved for psychologists and counselors, with notes on attendance requirements, refund policy, and suggested scholarly readings supporting the DBT and trauma content.
