Provides vital tools for implementing DBT skills training

Marsha M. Linehan

Written by the developer of Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), this comprehensive resource includes reproducible teaching notes, handouts and worksheets.  Ideal for therapists, trainers and students, this Manual shows the extent to which theory is underpinned by research on outcomes.  It is a valuable resource for therapists treating varied clinical, and non-clinical populations.

This Manual 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, Worksheets and Teaching Notes are available for download from a Web page, to be printed as needed.

Used for over two decades, by hundreds of thousands of practitioners, this book has been significantly revised and expanded to reflect important research and clinical advances.
