DBT & Personality Training Pathway
Pathway Overview
This DBT training for clinicians brings practitioners back to the roots of Dialectical Behavior Therapy—its behavioral science, its dialectical stance, and its human heart.Through live workshops and supervision series, participants explore how DBT principles apply to emotion dysregulation, suicidality, self-injury, and personality-based challenges across diagnoses. We emphasize how to “think dialectically,” conduct chain and missing-link analyses, and maintain adherence without rigidity or burnout.
DBT & Personality: Principles for Practice Training
All trainings are led by Dr. Anita Federici and Dr. Lucene Wisniewski
Theme:
Understanding personality structure and emotion regulation through the lens of DBT.

Each pathway can be completed independently for CE credit, or sequentially for those pursuing comprehensive eating disorder training for clinicians.
Together, these training pathways reflect the core clinical ethos of The Eating Disorder Training Institute (EDTI):
