The DBT Masterclass.
The DBT Masterclass is a 4-day course from the Association for Psychological Therapies (APT), a leading provider of accredited Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) training courses.
It is the only DBT training that is APT-accredited and also gives you access to APT’s relevant downloadable resources for use post-course. The course is available for teams and individuals and can be attended face-to-face or online. It can also be completed as part of the Extended Training DBT course.
Executive Summary:
The major teaching techniques on this course are case presentation and discussion, video-presentations, and reflective exercises, so delegates are expected to substantially develop both their knowledge and their skills during the four days.
Delegates have the opportunity to do several things:
- Enjoy discussion and assimilation of the application of DBT to the delegates' specific workplace. Opportunities to discuss (a) problems, and (b) circumstances where DBT has been especially effective are created.
- Deliver case presentations and discuss those presented by the tutor and other delegates.
- To study relevant video material demonstrating DBT in practise.
- To learn about and practice relatively more advanced DBT approaches such as irreverence and dialectical strategies.
- Insofar as they enter into case discussions and case presentations, to examine the application of DBT to specific presentations in addition to personality disorder, e.g. PTSD, eating disorders, suicidality, addictions etc.
Note: To attend this course you must have or be eligible for APT's DBT Accreditation, Level 3 and, because of the case material likely to be discussed, also have a professional qualification which insists upon patient confidentiality.

Reviews.
APT prides itself on the feedback we receive about our courses. Below are just some of the great comments the DBT Essentials course has received.
“Oh my goodness... where to start... Hard work, thought provoking but ultimately very inspiring. The tutor's style of delivery brought to life the previous 6 days of training and enabled me to visualize how a DBT service might work with our partners in NPS. She also gave me confidence in myself to take these skills forward into my everyday practice. Thanks!"
“Once again, thank you for really fantastic training. The examples you provide are always so thought provoking and relevant. Invaluable experience of actually running a group. Thanks very much"
