Channel: Psychotherapy Academy
Date: 2019-02-20

There are three types of validation in DBT: emotional, behavioral, and cognitive. Therapists must consider the timing and context of validations.

In this presentation, Dr. Stephanie Vaughn, Psy.D., discusses the use of 3 types of validation in therapy, considering timing, reinforcement, and how to balance validation and change strategies.

Here are some highlights we’ve extracted from this video:

1. The 3 types of validation are emotional, behavioral, and cognitive.
2. Don’t use validation immediately following problem behaviors that are maintained by validation.
