In this final video of Core Components Volume 1 Michaela summarises the exposure role-play with Christine.

This video precedes the Pre-Treatment role play. In this episode Michaela explains the pre-treatment phase of DBT. In the role play the name Christine was chosen to prevent Michaela misnaming the patient during the role play.

In this pre-treatment role play Michaela demonstrates goal identification and linking goals to treatment targets where the client's goals for therapy readily match the focus of the treatment programme.

In this second pre-treatment role play the client is more hopeless and presents her main goal to be dead. In this role play Michaela demonstrates a distinctive feature of DBT pre-treatment - treating road blocks to commitment to assist the client making the necessary commitments to treatment.

In this role play Michaela demonstrates how to work with a client who is reluctant to attend the group component of the treatment and develop commitment to attending the full DBT programme.

In this Introduction to Volume 3 of the Core Components Series Dr. Michaela Swales introduces the upcoming role play in which herself and Dr. Christine Dunkley demonstrate the application of the Suicide Crisis Protocol in DBT.

In part 1 of this role play Dr Michaela Swales and Dr Christine Dunkley begin to demonstrate the application of the Suicide Crisis Protocol.
This protocol represents one of the unique and potentially highly effective components of the treatment.

In part 2 of this role play Dr Michaela Swales and Dr Christine Dunkley continue to demonstrate the application of the Suicide Crisis Protocol.
The presence of the protocol provides therapists with confidence that they are intervening in a systematic manner with these high risk behaviours.
