1)Discuss the DBT research for different populations
2) Understand the diagnosis of Borderline Personality Disorder and the biosocial theory underlying the diagnosis in DBT
3) Explain how dialectics are used in DBT
4) Learn the four modules of skills in DBT (Core Mindfulness, Interpersonal Effectiveness, Emotion Regulation, and Distress Tolerance)
5) Conduct Behavioral Chain Analyses
