ABSTRACT
Individuals with the genetic disorder neurofibromatosis type 1 (NF1) are typically diagnosed in a medical hospital setting strongly relying on the presence of well-defined physical symptoms such as neurofibromas or pigmentary spots (known as café-au-lait spots). In mental health care settings, however, aside from a few highly specialized centres, the diagnosis and treatment of individuals with NF1 receives little attention, while the need for psychological treatment is increasingly identified, both in clinical practice and in the scientific literature. Occasional referrals of individuals with NF1 to the mental health services are often only targeted at psychological assessment. Subsequent treatment, however, is usually lacking. We describe two individuals with NF1 for whom by means of specialized clinical neuropsychological assessment, participation in a tailored dialectical behavior therapy (DBT) skills training was indicated. We exposit how they were able to develop their skills and how they themselves and their significant others experienced the treatment.
