SynopsisBy a distinguished team of authors, The Dialectical Behavior Therapy Skills Workbook offers readers unprecedented access to the core skills of dialectical behavior therapy (DBT), formerly available only through complicated professional books and a small handful of topical workbooks. These straightforward, step-by-step exercises will bring DBT core skills to thousands who need it., A Clear and Effective Approach to Learning DBT Skills First developed for treating borderline personality disorder, dialectical behavior therapy (DBT) has proven effective as treatment for a range of other mental health problems, especially for those characterized by overwhelming emotions. Research shows that DBT can improve your ability to handle distress without losing control and acting destructively. In order to make use of these techniques, you need to build skills in four key areas-distress tolerance, mindfulness, emotion regulation, and interpersonal effectiveness. The Dialectical Behavior Therapy Skills Workbook , a collaborative effort from three esteemed authors, offers straightforward, step-by-step exercises for learning these concepts and putting them to work for real and lasting change. Start by working on the introductory exercises and, after making progress, move on to the advanced-skills chapters. Whether you are a professional or a general reader, whether you use this book to support work done in therapy or as the basis for self-help, you'll benefit from this clear and practical guide to better managing your emotions. This book has been awarded The Association for Behavioral and Cognitive Therapies Self-Help Seal of Merit -- an award bestowed on outstanding self-help books that are consistent with cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) principles and that incorporate scientifically tested strategies for overcoming mental health difficulties. Used alone or in conjunction with therapy, our books offer powerful tools readers can use to jump-start changes in their lives.
This book has been extremely helpful but when it came time to get my own copy I originally had my heart set on a hard copy of the book but we couldn't afford it yet due to various factors, for which I am now very thankful. I have been able to print out a copy and keep it in a three ring binder as well as printing extra worksheets. I can now use the book whenever I need as I have it both on my phone and on paper.
As a therapist I was hoping this book would give me some useful tools to use with clients. Frankly, some of the suggested activities range from mediocre to downright dangerous! For self-harming clients it's suggested to simulate cutting by using red nail polish on your wrists, for abused clients to actually confront their abusers, to socially isolate yourself when experiencing "feelings of loneliness", and other questionable advice. As a professional I know how to take these suggestions with a grain of salt but I am afraid that untrained individuals may participate in such dangerous activities.
Very well structured and user friendly.
You really need a notebook to write your answers in tho. It will make for a great reference to use during your personal or professional therapy; to keep track of your feelings and gauge your progress.
EXTREMELY helpful and informative/includes work sheets
This book includes worksheets and is a absolute MUST read for anyone that has CPTSD,PTSD or for anyone who wants to understand and help a loved one w emotional issues caused by trauma.
I've read MANY books, but this is the ONLY one I've recommended on this topic.
I LOVE how it includes step by step instructions and worksheets
I got my book on time and well wrapped up. I got this book because my friend took this as a class. I really liked some of what I overheard, so I wanted to get the workbook. whoaaa!!! The information I'm learning Is way more rewarding than I thought. So many ways to cope and heal what a gem for my book shelf.
I actually purchased two prior workbooks but I did not really like them. This book is user friendly. It breaks down complicated ideas and makes them easy to understand. I highly recommend!
My neice was in treatment program and doc recommend Ed this book. I ordered and it was a blessing. She did great and excelled on her recovery. It was the very book the doc was using.Get one you'll be glad you did.
This book changed my life. It may have also saved my life. It helped me learn the skills I needed to cope with life, people and myself. I highly recommended to anyone who is struggling, whether they be male/female, young/old, etc. it is truly a workbook everyone can benefit from!
This is a very valuable workbook for anyone wanting better self knowledge and self-control. PTSD/BPD or just plain stuck - get this and do the work. You will feel better.
Was happy to order and expect it in the mail and within 2-3 days got it. I ordered it really late at night also and just the whole process was awesome.
