Vulnerability Factors and Solution Analysis in DBT
Key Points
- The client’s ongoing circumstances, such as academic workload, relationship dynamics, and unhelpful advisers, are ongoing factors that may contribute to future incidents of self-harm.
- In order to regain control and empowerment, the therapist and client explore alternative DBT skills.
- Encourage the client to commit to removing self-harm as an option, consider long-term consequences, and engage in solution analysis to identify alternative approaches.
