Implementing a Therapy for Complex Trauma in French-Speaking Settings

DBT-PTSD is 45-week individual psychotherapy (DBT-PTSD) designed to treat adults presenting with both borderline personality disorder (BPD) and complex post-traumatic stress disorder (C-PTSD). The intervention integrates dialectical behavior therapy (DBT) skills, trauma-focused exposure-based interventions, and strategies from compassion-focused therapy and acceptance and commitment therapy. All participants will receive the full sequence of the therapy in outpatient settings, following the structured treatment protocol.
