If, after following a 5-day theoretical part, you would like to meet the training requirements of the 10-day ‘Intensive training’, it is possible to follow the second week of the intensive training after following a switching (‘follow-up’) day. The 5-day theoretical part includes the DBT elective modules within the clinical psychologist training at the RCSW in Nijmegen, RINO South in Eindhoven or RINO GROUP in Utrecht. It also concerns the open registration 5-day DBT training at RINO GROUP in Utrecht.
During this second week, the treatment and training strategies are repeated and deepened. Moreover, you show in a presentation how you have implemented DBT as an individual, in your team and in your organization. Thereafter, consultation questions can be asked. Between the ‘chain’ day and the remaining 5 days (corresponding to the second week of the 10-day Intensive training), the participants are therefore expected to perform assignments and start applying DBT.
