Description
Dialectical behavior therapy (DBT) skills have been demonstrated to be effective in helping adolescents manage difficult emotional situations, deal with stress, and make better decisions. From leading experts in DBT and school-based interventions, this unique manual offers the primary nonclinical application of DBT skills. The book presents an innovative social–emotional learning curriculum designed to be taught on the universal level in grades 6-12. Explicit instructions for teaching the abilities–mindfulness, distress tolerance, emotion regulation, and interpersonal effectiveness–are provided in 30 lesson plans, complete with a large number of reproducible tools: 99 handouts, a diary card, and three student tests. The huge-size format and lay-flat binding facilitate photocopying; purchasers also get get admission to to a Internet page where they may be able to download and print the reproducible materials.
This book is in The Guilford Practical Intervention within the Schools Series, edited by T. Chris Riley-Tillman.
