From Marsha M. Linehan--the developer of dialectical behavior therapy
(DBT)--this comprehensive resource provides vital tools for implementing
DBT skills training. The reproducible teaching notes, handouts, and
worksheets used for over two decades by hundreds of thousands of
practitioners have been significantly revised and expanded to reflect
important research and clinical advances. The book gives complete
instructions for orienting clients to DBT, plus teaching notes for the
full range of mindfulness, interpersonal effectiveness, emotion
regulation, and distress tolerance skills. Handouts and worksheets are
not included in the book; purchasers get access to a webpage where they
can download and print all the handouts and worksheets discussed, as
well as the teaching notes. The companion volume is available
separately: DBT Skills Training Handouts and Worksheets, Second
Edition.
