Radically Open Dialectical Behavioral Therapy for Eating Disorders

Webinar presented by:
Kayla Jessop RDN, CDN, CEDRD-S

Webinar Description:  
Radically Open Dialectical Behavior Therapy (RO DBT), is an empirically based therapy,
supported by more than 20 years of research, that effectively treats disorders characterized by
excessive self-control, referred to as overcontrol. The counterintuitive idea behind RO DBT is that
it is possible to have too much self-control. Dietitians will learn what an overcontrolled
temperament is and how it applies to eating disorders, as well as techniques to treat those with it
more effectively. 
After this presentation, attendees will be able to:
1. Assess for an over-controlled temperament.
2. Understand RO DBT biosocial theory.
3. Personally apply and guide clients on how to apply the foundational RO DBT skill of self-
enquiry
