Description
For the average clinician, individuals with borderline personality disorder (BPD) incessantly 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 once the first psychotherapy shown in controlled trials to be effective with BPD. It has since been adapted and tested for a variety of other difficult-to-treat disorders involving emotion dysregulation. Whilst specializing in BPD, this book is very important reading for clinicians delivering DBT to any clients with complex, a couple of problems.
Companion volumes: The recent developments in DBT skills training, along side 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 to be had: 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.
