DBT PE Study Group

Hello! I am Vanessa Stechow, a specialist psychologist in contextual behavioral therapies and dialectical behavioral therapy (DBT).

I was recently conducted intensive training in DBT PE-prolonged DBT exposure protocol for posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD), with Melanie Harned and Annie McCall. Melanie was the creator, researcher and creator of this method of trauma treatment with dialectical behavioral therapy. Protocol this focused on patients with high risk and multiple diagnostics.

In the same training was launched the melanie book translated into Portuguese: "Treating trauma with dialectical behavioral therapy" (Harned, 2023).

Thus, from my experience I felt motivated to form and facilitate a group that aims to study this book. My commitment is to provide exchanges, contribute to my understandings and be willing to learn from everyone.

Objective

Study Group aimed at psychologists and psychiatrists with the objective of reading, exchanging and deepening the prolonged exposure protocol of DBT for posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) and possible application of it in clinical practice.

Differential

The big differential is to be conducted by a facilitator who learned the protocol with the creator of the methodology.
