Analysis - Marsha Linehan

Marsha Linehan (2009) provides dynamic, engaging demonstrations with two separate volunteers using nonjudgmental “chain analysis” to identify their problem behavior and look for controlling variables. Rather than using self-discipline, she suggests practical methods such as listing pros and cons and setting up consequences if the behavior continues. Both volunteers reported great satisfaction with the process.

Educational Objectives:

1. To define Chain Analysis

2. To describe the uses of Chain Analysis in psychotherapy.
