Dear colleagues,

On behalf of the Swedish DBT community, we are pleased to invite you and your networks to the upcoming DBT-dagarna 2026 with Linda Dimeff (Swedish DBT Conference), taking place in Uppsala, Sweden, on December 3–4, 2026.

DBT-dagarna is an annual national conference that brings together clinicians, researchers, and DBT teams to share knowledge, strengthen clinical practice, and foster collaboration across services and countries.

Conference focus:
This year’s conference will focus on Dialectical Behaviour Therapy (DBT) for individuals with Borderline and comorbid substance use disorders.

The programme will emphasize:
– practical clinical applications
– treatment strategies for complex comorbidity
– maintaining treatment direction in the context of relapse, chaos, and ambivalence
– strengthening motivation in both patients and DBT teams

Keynote speaker:
We are honoured to welcome Linda Dimeff (Portland DBT Institute, USA), who will lead the conference. We all know she is a brilliant DBT-therapist, researcher and lecturer. Her presentations will focus on DBT for Borderline and substance use disorders, including both foundational principles and advanced clinical strategies.

Invitation:
We warmly welcome international colleagues and would greatly appreciate if you could share this invitation within your national DBT networks and forward it to the DBT teams and clinicians in your country.
