Product Description
DIVP style="MARGIN: 0pt"First developed to treat suicidal individuals with borderline personality disorder, dialectical behavior therapy (DBT) has since been adapted to a range of settings and populations. This practical book--edited by close collaborators of DBT originator Marsha M. Linehan--presents applications for depression, substance dependence, eating disorders, psychosis, suicidal and assaultive behaviors, and other complex problems. Leading contributors, including Linehan herself, describe how to implement this evidence-based treatment with adults, adolescents, couples and families, and forensic clients. Issues in establishing and maintaining an effective DBT program are also addressed. Special features include over a dozen reproducible worksheets and forms, which bookbuyers can also download and print from Guilford's website./PP style="MARGIN: 0pt"./P/DIV

Just what I've been waiting for! June 25, 2008
8 out of 8 found this review helpful

Any clinician working in an inpatient, outpatient, residential, or ACT team who sees adults, adolescents or families and who is looking to consider implementing a research-proven treatment that works will find something helpful to guide them in this book. Having worked in DBT since the mid-1990's, I can see how this book would have helped me immensely to look at what to consider when starting or adapting a DBT program. Thanks for a useful guide full of insights from the experts in each of these areas. I knew Linda and Kelly were working on this book for a while and couldn't wait to see what all the experts they were able to bring together could contribute to a compilation like this. They have pulled together the best. Very useful.

Very helpful text! June 25, 2008
6 out of 6 found this review helpful

I am a clinician with 14 years of experience successfully applying Dialectical Behavior Therapy with many, many clients in a variety of settings. This long-awaited book is very welcome, as it is written by many of the leaders in DBT who have made thoughtful, adherent modifications to standard DBT so that it can be used with a variety of clients and in a variety of clinical settings. Each of the clinicians contributing to this text outlines the specifics of their adaptations, saving the rest of us the trouble of "reinventing the wheel." Thank you so much for compiling such a wealth of information from so many accomplished clinicians! Beverly Long, PsyD, Licensed Psychologist

Manual's ARE boring but this theraphy WORKS! June 23, 2008
3 out of 3 found this review helpful

In response to the first (and only) review written, I write my own personal review. Manuals are manuals but this theraphy works and works well! I'm a patient and going through these skill classes now. I am telling you, I haven't felt this great in years!!! I've been suffering with PTSD and Depression for almost five years. This theraphy literally has saved my life and given me my life back. Don't kabash this book because it's a boring manual; read it and learn it if you're a worthy mental health professional because this stuff works! P.S. I'm glad my doctor read these manuals and workbooks ;)

Tedious and minimally useful June 4, 2008
4 out of 11 found this review helpful

I could barely drag myself through this book. I have to say it's the worst written clinical book in my 25 years of reading them. However, I understand that DBT is quite useful and effective, that's why I bought it. Hopefully I can find a better written text on this method of treatment.
