[quote=Anonymous]We did a DBT teen/parent program. It had the same structure as an earlier poster described: 1 hour per week of individual therapy for the teen, 1.5 hours of "skills training," where the teens met in one group, the parents in another for about half the period, then came together for the other half. There's also a "coaching" piece, where the teen has access to coaching check-ins with the therapist. It was a substantial time commitment (2 visits per week), with minimal coverage from our insurance provider. For us, the experience was not positive. DBT (like most cognitive therapies) requires a LOT of buy-in from the teen. The practice we went to recommended a two-month assessment period before starting DBT. We didn't do that--BIG mistake. Generally speaking, I would say that DBT doesn't do well with resistance and refusal--and isn't especially helpful in getting to the reasons behind resistance to therapy (eg, trauma). [/quote]
