This book is a step-by-step guide to teaching clients four sets of skills: interpersonal effectiveness, emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and mindfulness. A vital component in Dr. Linehan’s comprehensive treatment program, the manual details precisely how to implement DBT behavioral skills training procedures. It provides everything the clinician needs to implement the program in skills training groups or with individual clients.

In a large-size format with lay-flat binding for easy photocopying, the book features over three dozen reproducible client handouts and homework sheets.

Product Description

Review

"Marsha Linehan's tremendously in-depth and informative book and its companion skills-training manual offer a needed guide to the cognitive-behavioral treatment of borderline personality disorder....Her method has become so widely used by clinicians that the experts in psychosocial treatments consider it one of the best....Marsha Linehan's methods are highly eclectic because they are empirically based; they have been fashioned to fit what works best for borderline patients."--Lester Luborsky, PhD

"Dr. Linehan's approach is sensible, pragmatic, and effective. Most importantly, it offers the therapist a humane and sensitive perspective on persons with Borderline Personality Disorder. In short, it treats both the therapist and the client in a fashion that produces results."--Mark Ciocca, PhD, Central New Hampshire Community Mental Health Center

"...user-friendly manual well grounded in principle, detailed in its strategies, and exportable to a wide range of treatment settings."--Charles R. Swenson, MD, New York Hospital, Westchester Division

4.0 out of 5 stars leaves out the men who have BPD Jun 18 2001
By A Customer
Format:Paperback
Please update this excellent book! This version is strongly oriented toward women--uses "she" and "her" exclusively in the text and exercises. Outdated, hard to read fonts. Needless technical words ("labile") in handouts meant for laypeople. Needs cultural updating--recommends listening to "I Am Woman" (70's era women's lib song) to feel better. What about the men who have BPD? And the gay men who have BPD? How about some Judy Garland and Barbra Streisand songs at least?

4.0 out of 5 stars It Works For Me May 16 2003
By Mary Spencer
Format:Paperback
I am a patient/client at Riverbend Center for Mental Health. As part of my treatment program I take DBT course. I've completed it once and in the process of repeating it. IT WORKS FOR ME! I have learned so much. I can actually FEEL now I haven't tried to OD or SI in 2 yrs this June. (That says alot in itself) Keep up the good writing. All of us who have certain disorders are always looking for books such as yours to help us outside of therapy. I highly recomend more states (like MS)to GET WITH THE PROGRAM! and have your book and classes available to more people. What more can I say. It's the best thing that has happened to and for me in my 10 plus years in the "system"! THANK YOU....

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent Jan 18 2004
By Patty E. Fleener
Format:Paperback
I'm the webowner of BPD Today and this is the "handbook" someone would bring to their dialectical behavior therapy (DBT) sessions as this form of therapy has shown in studies to help some folks with BPD. The material alone is excellent and one can get a lot of help with this very painful disorder. Every home with BPD should have it.
