Special attention will be given to the transdiagnostic efficacy of DBT and its application with clients who have PTSD. Content is grounded in current peer- reviewed research, including randomized clinical trials, systematic reviews, and studies examining mechanisms of change, with an emphasis on translating evidence-based principles into effective clinical practice.
