Therapy-Interfering Behaviors Assessment in DBT
Key Points
- It is crucial to assess therapy-interfering behavior and understand the underlying causes, such as defensiveness or resentment.
- Open communication and addressing issues directly are important for preventing resentment and frustration from building up in the therapeutic relationship.
- A client’s fear that the therapist doesn’t believe them is identified as a therapy-interfering behavior that needs to be addressed, along with the client’s confrontational response in such situations.
