James T Davenport - AA-Psychology Center of Chicago

The Emotion Management Program, LLC (EMP) provides psychotherapy from a contextual behavior perspective. EMP specializes in Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), an empirically validated treatment for persons who suffer from affective instability and who frequently engage in self-injurious and suicidal behavior. The Emotion Management Program, LLC (EMP) specializes in DBT. EMP's approach differs from traditional DBT in that rather than operating from a cognitive behavior perspective, it is best understood as a contextual behavior approach. A cognitive behavior approach emphasizes change and control of private experience and rationality as the important outcome criteria. In contrast, a contextual behavior approach takes a functional approach, and emphasizes acceptance as the only viable stance toward private experience (in particular, troubling cognitions and emotions). It uses workability as the outcome criteria for evaluating effectiveness. For more information, call today!
