Product Description
Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) is a therapeutic technique designed to counter extreme emotional reactions — before they lead to overwhelming anger, depression, anxiety, and stress-related ailments. An eclectic mix of cognitive-behavioral techniques, skills training, Zen, and existentialism, DBT helps readers pay attention to their emotions, assess their blocks to controlling them, become less judgmental of themselves when they lose control, and ultimately eliminate overpowering feelings. Worksheets and assessment exercises round out this breakthrough program.

 not worth the $$, 2008-11-18
I read the first several chapters of the book and felt it fell short of expectations. Fast-forwarding through to the back, I was disappointed further as it took serious psychological situations into a "we can handle this" approach. That is best left to a psychiatrist & counselor. Would not recommend.

 Dialectical Behavior Therapy, 2007-09-25
Having just been diagnosed with BPD, I have found books such as this very helpful as my husband and I discuss the best way for our family to deal with my sensitivity to emotions and mood changes. My oldest son is also displaying behaviors indicative of BPD and we are looking for help for him, too.

 adjunctive, 2007-06-18
must use w/ the original great--Linehan's DBT skills training workbook. i like these exercises, but you will need to preview before each class and come up w/ a solid tie-in w/ the DBT skills...it just doesn't stand alone in a way that is useful to clients.

 You can teach an old woman new skills, 2007-06-09
You can teach 4 year olds to count. You can teach an old dog to fetch. At 45 I thought there was no help for me. I just couldn't change. But this book helped me to learn the skills I needed to get along with myself my family and society. It is dry reading but keep at it and you will find a new person within you.

Great Workbook, 2007-05-18
I have been having trouble controling my emotions my whole life. I was never taught to control my emotions, so it has always been a struggle for me. Following the books guidelines and working one chapter at a time has helped me so much. It has improved my relationship with my boyfriend and given me a happier outlook on life knowing that my emotions are part of me but don't have to be who I am. I highly reccommend it, it's just like doing a workbook for a english or psych class. I also purchased the Self-Esteem Workbook. It's been just as helpful to me as this one.
