The Psychology Division of the Department of Psychiatry & Health Behavior is pleased to offer a Postdoctoral Fellowship in Dialectical Behavior Therapy and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy. The fellowship focuses on advanced clinical training in evidence-based approaches to problems of emotion dysregulation, suicide and self-injury, and substance abuse. The fellow will have opportunities to work with a broad range of clinical populations, such as patients with mood/anxiety disorders, PTSD and other trauma-related problems, borderline personality disorder, substance use disorders, and chronic medical illnesses. The fellow will work within our comprehensive outpatient Dialectical Behavior Therapy program, coordinating referrals/intakes, providing individual DBT to adults and adolescents, leading and/or co-leading adult skills groups and multifamily groups, and participating in the weekly DBT consultation team. The fellow will also have the opportunity for training and supervision in Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and other behavioral therapies. Specific clinical experiences will be determined by fellow interest/training needs and funding sources. Additional training experiences may include providing didactics and supervision for psychiatry trainees and psychology interns. The fellow will have shared didactics/seminars with other psychology postdoctoral fellows, as well as the option to participate with psychology interns in a Psychology of Women seminar emphasizing intersectional understandings of gender. Some supervision, didactics, and clinical work may be conducted virtually to reduce the risk of COVID-19 infection.
