Introduction to PBBT Course

This introductory training gives practitioners a clear, accessible overview of the PBBT model and how it can inform everyday clinical work in mental health. The training is organised into ten linked modules. Together, they build a coherent picture of how PBBT understands human difficulties and guides intervention. Designed by the founders of the PBBT Institute, this programme delivers high-quality theoretical training without requiring clinical skills practice.

Module 1 – Purpose, Aims and Ethos
Introduces the overall purpose of PBBT, its scientific roots, and its core ethos: two equal humans working together in a therapeutic space with clarity, compassion, and precision.

Module 2 – Concept of Meaning
Explores how meaning is constructed, why these processes matter for psychological suffering and change.

Module 3 – Concept of Layers
Describes “layers” of a clients’ suffering (e.g., surface experiences and painful evaluations based on their historical context) and shows how PBBT helps practitioners see beyond what is immediately visible.

Module 4 – Detail and Truth
Introduces how clients justify their painful self-meaning.

Module 5 – Active Responses
Introduces what people do in key situations – and how these patterns can be identified and influenced in a PBBT-consistent way.

Module 6 – Avoidance Responses
Illustrates the importance of the emotional experiences from childhood in which the Client learned to avoid as a survival strategy.

Module 7 – Dominant Active Responses
Helps practitioners identify the most influential or “dominant” way the client’s meaning operates.

Module 8 – Self–Other Meaning
Explores how people make sense of themselves and others, and how these meanings shape relationships and behaviour.

Module 9 – Active Responses (Main Behaviours)
Explains the client’s behaviour around others and how this is controlled by self-other meaning.

Module 10 – New System of Meaning
Shows how, through PBBT, individuals can build a “new system of meaning” – where self and others have fundamentally equal worth.
