Committee on Training and Implementation

The Training Committee of the WDBTA aims to produce guidance, informed by research and expert opinion (where research does not exist), for individuals, training organisations and DBT learned societies seeking to deliver DBT training to the highest possible standards.

Guidance will be developed in relation to the qualifications and skills necessary to train the treatment; recommended contents of curricula for training; qualifications and skills for supervisors and consultants; and strategies for effective implementation within systems and in countries.

Current training standards and suggested domains can be found here: Training
