Abstract

This chapter introduces counselor educators and supervisors to an approach to gatekeeping based on the theoretical principles and practices of dialectical behavior therapy (DBT). DBT offers opportunities to conceptualize impasses from a variety of perspectives, balancing scrutiny and validation for each. Because some counselors-in-training may have trauma histories, a DBT-informed approach may facilitate mutual understanding of students' trauma responses and their functions while still holding students accountable for problems in professional behavior. Readers will be able to modify clinical principles for use in educational and supervision settings. A fictitious case study illustrates how these principles might inform working with students in situations in which their marginalized identities and trauma responses might not be fully understood by all involved.
