This book is written for therapists. It has a lot of useful information but so much of it is written for the therapist. There's a lot of jargon and it is hard to read for someone not trained in the field. I had to skim through a lot of the material until I found information that I could use. The best part for the client is the session notes that teach the therapist how to do the program. It helped me to become familiar with terminology for DBT and some of the exercises or coping skills, but...more
This is the essential manual for DBT. As someone who's led a skills-training group, been through the intensive etc. I find with each read my understanding of the skills--mindfulness, emotion regulation, interpersonal effectiveness, and distress tolerance--and how to apply them in my own life and present to others grows.
One of the strongest features of this manual is its accessibility. I use the metaphor often with DBT that there is no teacher's book, what's in here is equally open to...more

this is the handbook that every linehan-trained clinician uses in their practice. it has handouts, it explains the skills, it outlines how group treatment is supposed to work.
unlike yalom's group therapy, which is known as a process group, linehan's group therapy is structured more like a class. in the beginning, members share their homework and any problems they might have had, while the group leader comments on it. then there is a transition into learning the new skill for the wee...more

Chock-a-block with loads of helpful strategies for dealing with symptoms like impulsiveness and emotional dysregulation. I realise that this is designed to be used in a clinical setting, but I still found benefit in reading it outside of therapy/implementing some of its strategies myself.
On the whole, this is an excellent book-- the biggest weakness (which is also true of DBT materials as a whole) is that they don't sufficiently acknowledge just how useful these techniques are for client groups besides BPD's.

Recommends it for:
Every clinician and anyone who suffers from BPD and those in their lives
Excellent, one of the most useful professional books in our library! Highly recommended. It explains the principles behind a highly effective approach and provides concrete materials for use with clients. Borderline personality disorder causes its sufferers devastating emotional pain and disrupts seemingly every aspects of their lives. For too long, too many therapists and psychologists have stigmatized people with this problem and either pronounced them untreatable or simply refused to take t...more
I learned a lot from this book. One thing I continue to do that I learned is "staying in the moment" which was a hard thing to learn.
These are skills that would help anyone, most of us probably have to some extent, and all of us could probably do better.
This is a great guide for therapists treating BPD and really any client who struggles with emotional regulation.
I HATE the big bold title and wrapped it in brown paper.
IT WAS useful.

Strategies for teaching; useful elaboration for some of the skills and concepts that are difficult to explain. Application of the text Cognitive-Behavioral Treatment of Borderline Personality Disorder.
This was, of course, amazing. It was great to read all the theory behind DBT. Linehan presents her material in a very user-friendly way.
Wonderful handbook for individual or group work. The vast majority of the contents can be easily modified to be more relevant to the client.
Theoretically an adjunct to DBT therapy, this book works well on its own, and applies to just about everybody.
welcome to the next year of my life.
