Full Description
Note: A newer edition of this title is available--DBT Skills Training Manual, Revised Edition. The second edition will remain in print for a limited time to ensure continuity of care.
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 available in the companion volume: DBT Skills Training Handouts and Worksheets, Second Edition.
