Review
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, Ph.D., Central New Hampshire Community Mental Health Center
Every once in a very long while in our field, a clinical innovation is introduced that profoundly improves patient care. Marsha Linehan's development of a cognitive-behavioral approach to borderline personality disorder is such a rare innovation....Her techniques are clear, teachable, and learnable, and make good common sense to the therapist and the patient. Dr. Linehan's methods have greatly improved my treatment of borderline individuals and my teaching of others in how best to understand and treat these patients -- Allen Frances, M.D.
Linehan is a brilliant, compassionate, and rigorous therapist for borderline patients. What's more, and what is most unusual for master therapists, she has proven its efficacy in published randomized, controlled trials. What is fortuitous for borderline patients and their therapists is that she has painstakingly crafted a wise book and user-friendly manual well grounded in principle, detailed in its strategies, and exportable to a wide range of treatment settings -- Charles R. Swenson, M.D., New York Hospital, Westchester Division
Linehan's treatment program is an extremely valuable resource for novice therapists, as well as more experienced clinicians interested in integrating useful and creative strategies in their therapeutic work -- The Scientist Practitioner

Book Description
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. Included are lecture notes, discussion questions, exercises, and practical advice on dealing with frequently encountered problems. In a large-size format with lay-flat binding for easy photocopying, the book features over three dozen reproducible client handouts and homework sheets.

4.0 out of 5 stars
leaves out the men who have BPD,
By A Customer
This review is from: Skills Training Manual for Treating Borderline Personality Disorder (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
Highly helpful for high functioning, motivated borderlines,
By M J Mayer (Abbey of Gethsemani) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Skills Training Manual for Treating Borderline Personality Disorder (Paperback)
This manual is highly effective for treating higher intellectually functioning and reasonably motivated borderlines. The handouts are especially helpful and they help to present the treatment in methods presentable to many clients (although I have found some borderlines become overly dependent on the handouts and conversely develop compulsions and obsessions centered around their DBT handouts and journals). I work in a residential treatment facility for SPMI (all clients also have at least one Axis I diagnosis), and most of our clients have too low intellectual functioning to grasp many of the DBT concepts. I especially enjoy the Zen focus of Linehan's DBT.
5.0 out of 5 stars
The book all people with BPD and their treaters should read,
By A Customer
This review is from: Skills Training Manual for Treating Borderline Personality Disorder (Paperback)
OK, so I read The Siren's Dance: My marriage to a Borderline, about a doc who has a BPD wife and he gets no therapy, nor does she, or if so, not good therapy. Guess what? The marriage DOES NOT WORK. In my situation, I was quite hopeless, because my wife had tried all types of medications, and therapy. Little worked until she started DBT, in individual work and in group. I also started therapy. Our marriage will survive, and my kids are more at ease. My wife's therapist says this is the book to use. It helped us for sure.
