An important component of Dialectical Behavior therapy is the arrangement of the environment. Trying to assure there are no drugs around, keeping social functioning’s positive and anything that may trigger the client to relapse is thrown out (Dimeff, Koerner, & Linehan, 2002). The environment would also need to be inviting, which is why we picked a local and hopefully familiar community center. We also picked a day and time that we believe the families would be less busy. There is also a lessened likelihood of breaching client’s confidentiality about being a part of the group.
