DBT Agreements and Commitment Strategies: Pre-Treatment and Beyond
Key Points
- There are specific patient and therapist agreements that must be consented to before beginning DBT, a vital one being the patient’s agreement to work on eliminating life-threatening behavior.
- Adults in DBT are typically asked to commit to therapy for at least 1 year.
- If involuntary treatment is required, patients must be allowed to choose a non-DBT alternative, as involuntary treatment is not permitted.
