OUR VALUES

wHAT DO WE DO?

Ask clinically-relevant questions about BPD and its treatment, Dialectical Behaviour Therapy (DBT)

Using experimental, ecological momentary assessment, and longitudinal methods, we seek to understand BPD and life-threatening behaviour, identify key treatment targets, and examine the efficacy of specific treatment strategies for BPD and life-threatening behaviour.

Draw on clinical trial methods to optimize and simplify the treatment of BPD and PTSD

We have recently become particularly focused on harnessing the power of relationships to treat BPD and/or PTSD through conjoint and dyadic interventions, as well as identifying simple, streamlined, and efficient ways of treating BPD, life-threatening behaviour, and PTSD. ​
