DBT at a Glance: The Role of the Psychiatrist on the DBT Team

by Shari Y. Manning

In this highly informative DVD, the role of the psychiatrist in dialectical behavior therapy (DBT) is discussed in detail. The video is designed for psychiatrists who work with patients being seen by a DBT team, as well as those who are actually part of a DBT team. It also gives other members of the treatment team an understanding of the targets of pharmacotherapy and how this component of treatment is managed. A Q&A with a prescriber is followed by a role-play with a fictional patient. A printable PDF handout recaps the main points of the presentation and provides supplemental information about the patient, including completed diary cards. Running time: 90 minutes.
