Radically Open UK is partnering with CEED to bring RO-DBT therapist training pathway to Victoria and Australia 2026 -2027.
What is Radically Open DBT (RO-DBT)
Radically Open Dialectical Behaviour Therapy (RO DBT) is a transdiagnostic treatment for disorders characterised by overcontrol (OC). Overcontrol has been linked to social isolation, aloof interpersonal functioning, maladaptive perfectionism, and constricted emotional expressions. RO DBT is intended for treating such chronic problems as refractory depression, anorexia nervosa and obsessive-compulsive personality disorder.
RO DBT is fully manualized (Lynch, 2018a; 2018b) and the feasibility, acceptability, and efficacy are evidence-based, supported by more than twenty-five years of clinical translational research. RO DBT treatment involves both individual treatment sessions and skills training classes and clinically targets five OC themes: inhibited and disingenuous emotional expression; hyper-detailed focused and overly cautious behaviour; rigid and rule-governed behaviour; aloof and distant style of relating; and high social comparison and envy/bitterness.
