Successful graduates of the PG Diploma will be eligible to apply for accreditation with the Society for DBT enabling them to deliver DBT within public and private sector healthcare organisations across the UK and Ireland. The components of the diploma can also be used to fulfil part of the requirements to become a BABCP accredited CBT therapist.
The PG Dip in DBT comprises five modules.
In Year 1, you will study PHP 4200, Theories and Principles of DBT, a thirty-credit residential module that introduces you to the underpinning philosophies and theories of the treatment. This module also leads you the process of setting up a DBT programme and commencing the treatment of clients using the treatment.
PHP 4201 follows and emphasizes the Clinical Applications of DBT. In this module, which is also residential and thirty credits, you refine your skills in DBT case conceptualization and the delivery of the treatment, both at a programmatic and an individual therapy level.
To complete the diploma, you then must complete three further twenty-credit modules that you can study in one year or spread over a further two years.
PMP 4015 Mindfulness in Individual Therapy helps you develop your skills in understanding the essence of mindfulness, a core pillar of DBT, and its application in individual therapy. This is also a residential module and part of the module will be run as a mindfulness retreat.
To develop your skills in Applied Behavioural Analysis, that underpins the problem-solving component of DBT, you will study by distance learning one of two modules (PLP 4001 or PLP 4003) which will introduce you to the core elements of behaviourism, functional analysis and their application in clinical practice.
The final module PHP4202, Advanced Clinical Skills in DBT, consists of two, two-day residential modules enhancing your application of DBT skills and strategies within your individual therapy, your DBT programme and your Consultation Team. Part of this module requires you to source and pay for 20 hours of DBT supervision of your clinical practice. Guidance in finding a supervisor will be provided.
