Preliminary Reviews
"DBT
is a proven evidence-based treatment that combines the best of our science with
the knowledge and compassion of Marsha Linehan--an exceptional researcher and
clinician whose innovative work has advanced the field and shifted many
individuals from lives of suffering to lives of hope. These outstanding second
editions offer guidance on how to implement DBT skills training, while
providing the tools needed to deliver this state-of-the-art treatment. They
will stand as the authoritative guides for teaching DBT skills, partnering with
clients to build lives worth living, and helping us to address our national and
international priorities of saving millions of lives lost to suicide worldwide.
These 'must-have' books belong on the shelves of every clinician and will be
valuable course texts."

“DBT
skills are useful not only for individuals who suffer from persistent emotion
regulation difficulties, but also for individuals in extreme circumstances and
people who have ordinary problems. This updated manual provides the
‘flexibility within fidelity’ in teaching these skills that practitioners and
treatment adopters need. New, improved, expanded, and much clearer
skills—they’re all here! Skills trainers and their clients will benefit from
Linehan and her colleagues’ decades of systematic research and time spent
developing, testing, and refining these skills, empowering practitioners to
confidently offer multiple ways of understanding and practicing new behavior.
Experienced skills trainers will notice the evolved richness and depth, while
the explanations and teaching points will provide new trainers and students
with an excellent foundation for skills training with both adults and
adolescents. Providing a solid evidence-based foundation for core clinical
training curricula, this manual and the accompanying volume of handouts and
worksheets will be essential across the mental health disciplines.”
