6 AMA PRA Category 1 Credits™ ...OVERVIEW
DBT Between Sessions: Generalizing DBT to Real Life is organized by Behavioral Tech Institute (BTECH) and will be held on Jun 23, 2026.
Training Description:
Purpose: This training addresses core principles and approaches that clinicians need to effectively incorporate DBT phone coaching into their practice.
Core Training Description:
This one-day training covers essential principles and strategies to help clinicians effectively navigate phone coaching in dialectical behavior therapy (DBT; Linehan, 1993a; 2015). Phone coaching (also referred to as telephone consultation) is one of the four components of standard, comprehensive DBT, along with weekly individual therapy, group skills training, and the therapist consultation team.
The primary aim of phone coaching is to help clients generalize behaviors and skills they are learning in DBT to situations in their everyday lives. When a client is having difficulty determining which skills to use or how to use them, they can reach out to their individual therapist for skills coaching. The individual therapist helps their client determine when and how to use skills to navigate challenging everyday life situations.
Although phone coaching is usually brief and effective, perhaps not surprisingly, this component of DBT raises concerns and worries among many clinicians. Clinicians often are unsure how they would navigate distressed client calls, remain available to their clients without interfering with their personal lives or walking down the path to burnout, or manage suicidal crisis calls.
The training will include a variety of learning activities, including didactic presentations, live and video demonstrations of core strategies, active practice exercises, and experiential exercises.
