This book is ideal for mental health professionals, including therapists and counsellors, at all levels of experience who wish to integrate DBT principles into their practice without intensive formal training.

Description

Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) has quickly become a treatment of choice for individuals with borderline personality disorder and other complicated psychiatric conditions. Becoming proficient in standard DBT requires intensive training and extensive supervised experience. However, there are many DBT principles and procedures that can be readily adapted for therapists conducting supportive, psychodynamic, and even other forms of cognitive behavioural treatments. Despite this, there is a dearth of easily accessible reading material for the busy clinician or novice.

This new book provides a clinically oriented, user-friendly guide to understanding and utilising the principles and techniques of DBT for non-DBT-trained mental health practitioners and is an ideal guide to DBT for clinicians at all levels of experience.

Written by internationally recognised experts in suicide, self-injury and borderline personality disorder, it features clinical vignettes, following patients through a series of chapters, clearly illustrating both the therapeutic principles and interventions.

Book Hero Magic summarised reviews for this book. While it's new and still learning, it may not be perfect - your feedback is welcome! HOW HAS THIS BEEN REVIEWED?

The British Journal of Psychology praises the book as especially useful for clinicians curious about DBT's scope and unique features. It highlights the authors' success in bridging the gap between unaware clinicians and DBT-trained practitioners by presenting adaptable, good-practice elements within DBT that can complement other treatment modalities.
