Children’s Ask the Doctor
Call
Save the Date: March 21st,
2014 from 11:00 a.m. to 12:00 p.m. Eastern Time 8 a.m. to 9 a.m. PST
Topic: Dialectical Behavioral
Therapy and adolescents with Pat Harvey and Britt Rathbone
Pat and Britt will be
discussing DBT as it relates to adolescents and their parents. They will
present a very brief overview of the modes of DBT and the DBT dialectic of
Acceptance and Change. They will then discuss the philosophy behind the
acceptance of problematic behaviors as a way to respond to pain as a way for
parents to understand problematic behaviors in a non-judgmental, non-blaming
way. They will finish up with a discussion of how parents can utilize the
dialectic of acceptance and change in their interactions with teens through
validation and observing limits.
Please also find the attached
worksheet which will be discussed on the call.
