DBT Skills Training Manual, Second Edition, Available separately: DBT Skills Training Handouts and Worksheets

Great resource and good evidence base . Really helpful to understand the neuroscience and also a range of practical activities that can be used .

Amazing author and book in doing any training.

Excellent book. As a professional i quibble over buying the 1st edition (which i have access to) or this/2nd. So glad i brought this as it is a far superiour book to 1ST: it is better writter; concepts are more clearly explained: more and helpful scientific info re: principles is included and a wider range of associated issues commonly experienced explored. Also includes core hand outs in book and some worksheets.A DBT practioner must have!

Lots more skills with emphasis on different problems such as addiction etc rather than just self harm. Could be possible to work through this on your own but would be most effective with a professional. DBT doesn't work for all which professionals don't seem to believe so don't give up if you don't get along with the concept

I am currently working through this book with my CPN, i have PTSD, there are some exercises to do in this book that do require a Therapist to go through them with you, some say do not do this exercise if I do have PTSD, but I've found this book extremely helpful and a few exercises have helped me calm down after having a flashback, as it's been written by a American lady some of the wording is confusing for someone living in the uk, but generally it's working out ok for me.

I bought the book as I started to see a therapist who recommended some of the practices. As I am curious, I wanted to understand the concepts and it really has helped me look at things in different ways, which both helps the way I look at myself but also in how I respond to and reflect on events around me, including a deeper understanding of people I encounter.

The manual and contents are perfect. Exactly what I needed. However, this is sold as new and the copy I received did not appear to be in new condition, although fine to use if I wanted second hand I would have saved some money and ordered second hand. Unfortunately I need this for work so can't return and wait for another one. Not impressed with the vendor, very impressed with the author

A very thorough, but clearly and concisely presented, account of exactly how to run a DBT course for groups. As it happens, I mostly got this for personal interest rather than professional planning - I'm not actually in a situation where I'd be asked to deliver DBT training to anyone. However, a very useful guide which I think I could be happy to recommend to anyone more 'involved' in delivering this kind of approach.

Fill with great knowledge

I am not a health professional, and was tossing up between buying this or a DBT skills workbook. This training manual is targeted toward practitioners and breaks down treatment plans with weekly lesson schedules, teaching notes and practical advice. This is a comprehensive manual, and includes references for further reading and researching. I wouldn't recommend a person with a clinical diagnosis try and go through this training manual alone however for someone wanting to know more about DBT without going through the program (which is about 25 weeks long), I've found it to be beneficial. Going through these lessons in my own time, has uncovered more self-reflection than with regular visits to the psychologist, and what I've found most helpful are the handouts and worksheets (which are available for free download from the publisher - they're not included in this book). If you're a mental health professional, this would be an indispensable resource but if you're just looking for an overview on DBT skills then a workbook would be better suited.

Es un libro excelente, requieres entrenamiento en DBT para hacer un buen uso de las herramientas

Love this book it was great for my therapy career and reference and great Bible for working with my client. Good book great resource.

Wir mussten über 20 Jahre auf die Neuausgabe von Marsha M. Linehans Manual zur Dialektisch-Behavioralen Therapie der Borderline-Störung warten. Das Modul der inneren Achtsamkeit wurde stark erweitert und bildet das Fundament für die anderen Skills. Wer das Trainingsmanual von 1996 kennt, kann sich jetzt über das vorliegende ausführliche Manual in zweiter Ausgabe freuen. Die Handouts der ersten Ausgabe wurden stark erweitert und in das neue kopierfreundliche Spiralbuch "Handouts and Worksheets" ausgelagert.
