The development of a dialectical behavior therapy skills manual modified for the developmentally delayed population by Norman, Dwight J., Jr., Psy.D., CAPELLA UNIVERSITY, 2015, 158 pages; Abstract: The program design developed a skills manual aimed at reducing maladaptive behaviors in individuals diagnosed with developmental delays. The product teaches skills to reduce negative, impulsive behaviors and promote effective, goal directed behaviors. The modified skills manual applied new material to expand current research with the developmentally disabled population. Research noted that individuals diagnosed with development disabilities are a diverse population that exhibits challenging behaviors including aggression directed toward themselves, others, or the environment. Individuals living with developmental disabilities develop many complications and endure frequent difficulties throughout life. Some people with developmental disabilities exhibit challenging behaviors that may jeopardize the

2 physical safety of others or themselves. Individuals may also display behavior likely to limit their use of accommodations within the community. Individuals who exhibit difficulty in areas must develop skills allowing for the production of more effective behaviors. The program development allows for better treatment plans for clinicians to provide efficient care. In many cases, maladaptive behavior is learned and is inadvertently rewarded. Adaptive behaviors can be taught that produce positive outcomes. The production of the manual provides viable information to fill a gap for effective treatment with the developmentally disabled population.

Title: Dynamic psychotherapy or dialectical behavioral therapy-- which is better for borderline personality disorder? Citation: The Israel journal of psychiatry and related sciences, 2011, vol./is. 48/2( ), (2011) Author(s): Tene O., Har-Even A., Dahan E., Babokshin Y., Reuveni I., Ponarovsky B., Rosman V., Gluzman L. Abstract: Clinical dilemma: A 20-year-old female patient, diagnosed as suffering from borderline personality disorder, is referred to your clinic. Her disorder is characterized by unstable personal relationships, impulsivity, suicidal behavior, emotional instability and pananxiety. After initiation of pharmacological treatment which you have chosen, you meet with

3 her parents who ask you which is better for their daughter dynamic-analytic psychotherapy or dialectical behavioral therapy.

Citation: Journal of Clinical Psychology, Sep 2015, (Sep 21, 2015), (Sep 21, 2015) Author(s): Stein, Aliza T., Hearon, Bridget A., Beard, Courtney, Hsu, Kean J., Bj insson, Thr r Abstract: Objective Dialectical behavior therapy (DBT) was developed for treatment of borderline personality disorder (BPD), and adapted forms of DBT are currently used to treat bipolar disorder, eating disorders, anxiety, and depression. This study was designed to validate the Dialectical Behavior Therapy Ways of Coping Checklist (DBT-WCCL) DBT Skills subscale (DSS) for use in a diagnostically heterogeneous sample. Method We used naturalistic data from 228 patients receiving treatment at a partial hospital program to assess psychometric properties of the DBT-WCCL DSS. We assessed interitem correlations, internal consistency, factor structure, construct validity and sensitivity to change. Results Internal consistency, construct validity, and sensitivity to change were good. The measure displayed good convergent and discriminant validity. Factor analysis results were consistent with previous research indicating a 1-factor solution for this subscale. Conclusions Psychometric properties were similar to the original BPD sample, indicating that this measure can be used as an assessment tool for DBT skill use in a diverse psychiatric population.

4 Title: The Use of Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) in Music Therapy: A Sequential Explanatory Study. Citation: The Use of Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) in Music Therapy: A Sequential Explanatory Study., 2015, vol./is. 52/2( ), Author(s): Chwalek, Carolyn M, McKinney, Cathy H Abstract: Background: There are published examples of how dialectical behavior therapy (DBT) and music therapy are effectively being used as separate therapies in the treatment of individuals with a variety of mental health disorders. However, research examining DBTinformed music therapy is limited.objective: The purpose of this study was to determine whether music therapists working in mental health settings are implementing components of DBT in their work, and if so, how and why; and if not, why not and what is their level of interest in such work.methods: We used a sequential explanatory mixed-methods research design implemented in two phases. Phase 1 was a quantitative survey of board-certified music therapists (n=260). Due to a low survey response rate (18%), and to enhance the validity of the findings, Phase 2, an embedded qualitative procedure in the form of interviews with clinicians experienced in the DBT approach, was added to the study. Both survey and interviews inquired about DBT training, use of DBT-informed music therapy, music therapy experiences used to address DBT skills, and experiences of implementing DBT-informed music therapy.results: Respondents indicating they implement DBT-informed music therapy (38.3%) are using components and adaptations of the standard DBT protocol. Advantages of implementing DBT-informed music therapy were identified, and more than half of the respondents who do not implement DBT in their music therapy practice also perceived this work as at least somewhat important. Disadvantages were also identified and support the need for further research.conclusions: Components of DBT are used in music therapy and are valued, but there is a lack of empirical evidence to inform, refine, and guide practice.

5 Title: Group dialectical-behavior therapy skills training for conversion disorder with seizures Citation: Journal of Neuropsychiatry and Clinical Neurosciences, August 2015, vol./is. 27/3( ), ; (26 Aug 2015) Author(s): Bullock K.D., Mirza N., Forte C., Trockel M. Abstract: Neuroimaging evidence suggests deficits in affective regulation in conversion disorder (CD). Dialectical-behavior therapy skills training (DBT-ST) was developed to target emotion dysregulation. This study was aimed to test the feasibility of standalone DBT-ST for CD using Linehan's manual for borderline personality disorder. In a prospective naturalistic design, 19 adult outpatients diagnosed with video EEG-confirmed seizure type CD were recruited and received weekly group DBT. Seventeen out of 19 subjects finished an average of 20.5 weeks of treatment. The mean seizure rate decreased by 66%. Cessation of seizures occurred in 35% of the sample. Completion rates reached 90%.
