Addressing TIBs in DBT: Operational Definition and Behavioral Chain Analysis

Psychē, PLLC Vanderbilt University

Key Points

1. Therapy-interfering behavior is targeted through chain analysis and solution analysis after creating operational definitions of the behavior.
2. Creating operational definitions requires observation and a level of objectivity.
3. It is important to maintain a balance between being ridiculously scientific in a definition of the patient’s behavior versus using nebulous judgments.
