This protocol establishes a research oriented psychological treatment clinic within the
Graduate School of Applied and Professional Psychology (GSAPP), called the Dialectical
Behavior Therapy Rutgers University Research Program (DBT-RU). The overall aim of the
proposed research is to find ways to improve therapist training in existing treatments for
complex and difficult-to-treat problems (e.g., DBT, prolonged exposure), develop new and more
effective treatments, and improve understanding of severe psychopathology. Consequently, this
proposed research will have four branches: (1) training of research clinicians and evaluation
of training methods; (2) training of clinical evaluators for the research studies and
evaluation of assessment training methods; (3) assessment of treatment outcome, including
assessment of mediators and moderators of change (both clinician and client data); (4)
assessment and analyses of psychopathology of subject populations who participate in the
DBT-RU.
