Dialectical Behavior Therapy Skills Training with Adolescents: A Practical Workbook for Therapists, Teens & Parents

This book references extreme behaviors often, implying that the author expects teens to be extremely emotionally disturbed.I bought this for my almost 13 year old normal kid just to have adequate tools as he moves into adolescence. I have to tag it to him so I can censor the extreme negative implications and stick to the facts and skills.Some of the terminology is weird. Like "wise mind". "Reasonable" or "Balanced" would make more sense.

Haven't read it yet, but I have high hopes for it as my daughter's therapist recommended it to me.

Starting out as a clinical therapist for adolescent males going through substance use recovery and treatment, this manual has been super helpful and easy to understand! I love that it has sections for the adolescent, parent, and therapist.

I have been using this book with clients online. The changes in switching to tele health have been a challenge. I have found this a great help with addressing the overwhelming emotions that are being generated from the pandemic. The teens like when I read the text and we discuss the material together in session.

This book has excellent training and techniques for teens and adults that deal with Personality Disorders. My daughter has been in therapy and was recommended to use this skills workbook. It has helped her to gain real life coping skills, and it has helped me as her parent to gain skills as well. This book is a must have for parents and teens (can't speak for adults, but I bet it would help them too) who are looking for help and answers when dealing with mental disorders and behavioral problems. As a parent it has also given me skills to deal with my daughters mental disorder and helped me be more thoughtful with my other children as well. It's a win win for both me and my daughter.

The book has great DBT skills for clients

Useful pages that have specific and informative reading along with a little space to write in and not get distracted by the writing itself. Rdg level is perfect for teens
