The Depression and Anxiety Specialty Clinic of Chicago (DASC) is thrilled to host Dr. Michael Maslar in presenting “Social Signaling Matters: An Introduction to Radically Open DBT."
About Radically Open DBT:
Radically Open Dialectical Behavior Therapy is a new evidence-based treatment developed by Dr. Thomas Lynch that targets over-controlled behavior. It has been used to treat some of the rigid responses and emotional inhibition thought to underlie many treatment-resistant conditions. RO-DBT has been informed by over 20 years of clinical and experimental research, and is appropriate for clients who have a diagnosis of Chronic Depression, Treatment-Resistant Anxiety Disorders, Anorexia Nervosa, Avoidant, Paranoid and Obsessive Compulsive Personality Disorders and Autistic Spectrum Disorders.
About the Presenter:
DASC-Chicago welcomes Michael Maslar Psy.D., a Licensed Clinical Psychologist, clinical supervisor, and clinical trainer, who is Director of the Mindfulness and Behavior Therapies program at the Family Institute of Northwestern University. He is also Clinical Lecturer in the Division of Psychology, at the Weinberg School of Arts and Sciences at Northwestern University. He previously coordinated psychology training and Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) services at Northwestern Memorial Hospital’s Outpatient Psychiatric Rehabilitation Program, and has worked with challenging problems in a variety of other outpatient, inpatient, and residential settings. A graduate of the Chicago School of Professional Psychology, he practices mindfulness-based therapies, therapies rooted in Zen practice, DBT, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, and other “Third Wave” behavioral therapies. He received instruction as a clinician and trainer from the original developers of DBT, Dr. Marsha Linehan’s Behavioral Tech. He received instruction as an RO clinician from the original developer of the approach, Thomas Lynch, PhD, and is an Approved Trainer in Radically Open DBT. He also serves as a member of the Midwest DBT Team Leaders Group, and the Chicago DBT Consortium. He specializes in the treatment of Borderline Personality Disorder, other disorders of emotion dysregulation, disorders of overcontrol, trauma, anxiety disorders, and high conflict couples and families. Dr. Maslar has had a personal practice of yoga and Buddhist meditation, including mindfulness, loving kindness, and concentrative forms, for over twenty years. He has instructed general audiences, as well as well as people in educational, business, and the helping professions, in these practices for over fifteen years.
Training Objectives:
This full-day training will help attendees understand the underlying science, theory and principles of Radically Open DBT, and will provide skills in determining whether any of their clients struggle with overcontrol. This training can also help clinicians assess whether the 10-day intensive RO-DBT training would be of use to them.
Upon completion of this one-day training, participants will be able to:
1. Explain a new biosocial theory for overcontrol
2. Describe a novel treatment mechanism, positing open expression = trust = social connectedness
3. Describe new RO-DBT treatment strategies designed to enhance willingness for self-inquiry and flexible responding.
4. Describe the four core deficits of overcontrol
5. Describe the RO-DBT treatment structure
6. Describe the RO-DBT treatment hierarchy
7. Explain the most common indirect social signaling styles in overcontrol
