Interview about DBT and Family Connections with the international DBT expert prof. Alan Fruzzetti

It is a very inspiring conversation about how DBP (dialectical-behavioural therapy) and Family Connections (family support program) developed.

A story about personal experience, doubts that were at the beginning of the road. But most of all, a conversation that shows the true spirit of DBT and Family Connections.🌷🌷🌷

A great conversation for those who are just beginning to be interested in this approach and those who already know and work well at DBT.

The interview is conducted by Magdalena Skuza-Singh
