In DBT, skills training consists of weekly groups for 2-2½ hours per week. Half of the group is devoted to presenting new skills. The remainder is spent reviewing homework practice for the skills currently being taught. The group is highly structured with an agenda set by the DBT manual developed by Linehan (1993).
