Description
For the average clinician, individuals with borderline personality disorder (BPD) often represent the most challenging, seemingly insoluble cases. This volume is the authoritative presentation of dialectical behavior therapy (DBT), Marsha M. Linehan’s comprehensive, integrated approach to treating individuals with BPD. DBT was the first psychotherapy shown in controlled trials to be effective with BPD. It has since been adapted and tested for a wide range of other difficult-to-treat disorders involving emotion dysregulation. While focusing on BPD, this book is essential reading for clinicians delivering DBT to any clients with complex, multiple problems.
Companion volumes: The latest developments in DBT skills training, together with essential materials for teaching the full range of mindfulness, interpersonal effectiveness, emotion regulation, and distress tolerance skills, are presented in Linehan’s DBT Skills Training Manual, Second Edition, and DBT Skills Training Handouts and Worksheets, Second Edition. Also available: Linehan’s instructive skills training videos for clients–Crisis Survival Skills: Part One, Crisis Survival Skills: Part Two, From Suffering to Freedom, This One Moment, and Opposite Action.
I listened to the ebook and bought hard copies for my kids’ Easter baskets. This book is worth your time!
How to improve your life by developing good habits and getting rid of bad ones. The author makes it easy with many tools.
I love that his strategies and systems are practical and can be put to use immediately, into any lifestyle. Whether you’re a wellness, life or weight loss coach, an entrepreneur, CEO or a parent we all need to develop helpful habits and eliminate the ones that no longer serve us. Brilliant writer. Very relatable human being and also inspiring.
This book is excellent for learning to build good habits and break bad ones.
It is not overly academic but, instead, is approachable and actionable. I was able to utilize many of the tools before I finished the book.
I have read a few books on habits and habit building, but this is hands-down the one I will be recommending from now on.
I liked the short summaries at the end of every chapter & every chapter was straight to the point.
