The concept of "Moral Injury" was explicitly brought into the limelight by Prof. Brett Litz in his 2009 seminal paper. Moral dilemmas recur frequently in the consulting room with veterans and others. An example of a moral dilemma is as a veteran witnessing sexual abuse and at the same time having the desire to shoot the perpetrator to end this unpleasant scene. The unpleasantness of such a moral dilemma is that both outcomes contradict one's moral compass. After such a dilemma - with whichever outcome - patients experience a gnawing sense of guilt, and if this guilt is not explicitly addressed, this feeling will continue to trouble the patient for life.

In this first session the therapist works on a case conceptualisation with the patient. He focuses on behavioral patterns, (core) beliefs and the current impact of early experiences. The therapist uses different interventions to achieve this.

The rule of thumb in DBT is that after +- 60% of the client's treatment you start preparing for the end of the therapy. There is no step-by-step plan for this, and the preparation involves more than arranging aftercare. Above all, it requires alertness and ‘reading between the lines’. For many clients, the approaching end of intensive immersion therapy evokes intense emotions. And if, like Anne, they have a developmental history that includes mobile relationships with sudden abandonment, then they have developed few skills to deal with that. You can see that Roland responds with care, validates and uses didactic strategies to teach Anne what goodbyes can entail. Meanwhile, radical acceptance and anticipation play a crucial role, and of course a watertight relapse prevention plan.

In this first session of the therapy you will see how a treatment is started in APT by making contact and looking together for concrete goals for the therapy.

In this 29th therapy session, Steven Meijer and the patient are working towards the conclusion of the therapy. They discuss the closure of the therapy, reducing the frequency of sessions, and the impending farewell between the patient and the therapist. They also address the patient's ability to independently continue the therapeutic plan after the conclusion of therapy.

In this third session, Katy goes through the moments that Pnin has indicated on his lifeline. This process is slow and detailed, with Katy fully guiding Pnin through it. Katy clearly explains to Pnin how she will approach this to achieve the best results for him.
