read the Rizvi, et al. (2013), “An Overview of Dialectical Behavior
Therapy for Professional Psychologists,” Harned, et al. (2013),

Borderline Personality Disorder and PTSD,” Miller (2006), “Telehealth
Issues in Consulting Psychology Practice,” and Luxton, et al. (2011),
“mHealth for Mental Health: Integrating Smartphone Technology in
Behavioral Healthcare” articles.

  how Dr. Banks related this to Karen in her initial therapy sessions.
• Describe the two formats that Dr. Banks told Karen would be part of her treatment program.
• Describe the focus of the second and third stages of treatment.
• Assume the role of a consulting clinical or counseling psychologist
  on this case, and recommend at least one technology-based e-therapy tool
  that would be useful. Explain liability issues related to delivering
  e-therapy consultation, supporting your response with information from
  the Miller (2006), “Telehealth Issues in Consulting Psychology Practice”

• Evaluate the effectiveness of the treatment interventions
  implemented by Dr. Banks supporting your statements with information
  from the case and two to three peer-reviewed articles from the Ashford
  University Library, in addition to those required for this week.
• Recommend three additional treatment interventions that would be
  appropriate in this case. Use information from the Sneed, Fertuck,
  Kanellopoulos, and Culang-Reinlieb (2012), “Borderline Personality
