Meet Keegan
Dr. Keegan Tangeman is a Clinical Child and Adolescent Psychologist who served as Clinical Project Director for the CARES study, the randomized controlled trial that established Dialectical Behavior Therapy as an effective treatment for adolescents at high risk for suicide, conducted with Marsha Linehan, Ph.D. at the University of Washington and Harbor-UCLA Medical Center. He has spent his career developing and directing evidence-based clinical services for children and adolescents, including founding a behavioral assessment and treatment clinic for disruptive behavior disorders and publishing research on adolescent DBT, trauma, and suicide risk. He currently holds a faculty position at Pepperdine University's Graduate School of Education and Psychology, where he trains doctoral students in evidence-based intervention, and serves as Senior Regional Clinical Director at The Stepping Stones Group, overseeing psychotherapy and diagnostic services for children and families nationally.
The course will review the tenets of Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) and contrast them with adaptations for adolescents. These include a review of DBT’s biosocial model, its Stages of treatment, and Modes of treatment found within Stage 1. The course will present the efficacy data for DBT from the first randomized controlled trial (RCT) for adolescents presenting with suicide risk, which will underscore the evidence base for an adaptation of DBT for adolescents. Lastly, this course will explore specific adaptations of DBT for adolescents within a private practice model.
Educational Goals
1. The presentation will increase knowledge and awareness of DBT best practices for adolescents, preserving clinical fidelity.
2. The presentation will increase clinician confidence in providing DBT-informed treatment within a private practice setting.
Learning Objectives
✔ Identify at least 2 adaptations for providing DBT to adolescents
