DBT SKILLS TRAINING MANUAL 2ED (PB 2015)

If you've BPD...believe in yourself.... it's really treatable and manageable....this DBT book is written by its creator herself.

Excellent book written by the legend herself. Linehan has beautifully explained the concepts very well. Would have given a 5 star for this. But the extensive book has smaller font which made me little uncomfortable to read and had few gramattic or spelling mistakes. I don't suggest this book for beginners.

While it really is a rich source of information and content for the practitioners, there's room for improving the way the book is structured. The index could be more organized, with page numbers. The content where there are references added from the book page numbers could be mentioned for the ease of access. And a lot many spelling errors makes it evident that it needs to be proof read and read structured.

It's a fake copy of the original book available elsewhere. Lot of printing errors and the quality of the paper is not upto the mark.

book is not reachable

A Manual intended for practicing DBT skills in groups. The book has in depth content with occasional spelling errors. The author also talks of main text which is an additional book reference, so it's obvious that you may need to buy the main text for further clarity. Sometimes it could be overwhelming when you would go through the pages as there's lot to digest.

I've found this too difficult to understand completely. Too much to content make it more difficult.

Fill with great knowledge

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

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.
