"""This book is an incredibly indepth explanation of Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT) and it's uses, methods, and benefits. Each chapter breaks down different aspects of DBT from who this therapy is best suited for, the methods used, family support and involvement, and the history of DBT. It does a great job contrasting DBT to CBT(cognitive Behavioral therapy) and really showing the intricacies of both forms of therapy to help those reading choose which may be better suited to their specific needs. This is a great resource particularly for parents of teens who struggle with BPD (the main disorder that DBT was created to address). It includes an entire chapter geared toward the treatment of teens and parental/family support for minors. It also would be a fantastic resource for a therapist looking into becoming a member of a DBT team and working to learn and incorporate this type of therapy into their practice. As well as, it is useful to family members of anyone currently in DBT, or to help explain to a loved one what DBT is; so they can consider pursuing that therapy for themselves."" -Joy T. ""I thoroughly enjoyed the insight that reading this book on DBT (Dialectical Behavioral Therapy) brought me. I, like many others in the world struggle often with feelings typically deemed ""inappropriate"" or ""too intense"" by the majority. This caused me to have a double or triple sense of shame and embarrassment as well as feeling as though I just don't get the vast majority of people and the way they operate, I felt left out and cast aside. I felt unloved and unwanted and these feelings only caused further instances of acting out and displaying behaviors others found undesirable ranging from annoying to unsettling and in very intense situations even somewhat scary. My life had become dark and unfamiliar and I was not fully in the driver's seat, things were looking and feeling bleak and I had no hope for anything better as I believed I was stuck and cursed and that there was no way out until I did a course of DBT and learned new ways of thinking and living. The therapy was almost immediately effective once I had gone through enough of the recommended sessions to grasp the concepts well as get the opportunity to put the recommended accompanying techniques into action. This book fully explores all the concepts and techniques that I engaged learning about with a flesh and blood therapist and I'm some instances is even more insightful as it speaks from an omnipotent 3rd person perspective giving the pov of both client and clinician (though mainly the client). I think any one interested in self improvement, any behavioral professional and even someone lost and desperate looking for answers may very well find exactly what they seek in this book."" -Erica S. ""I found this Dialectical Behavior Therapy workbook to be so helpful for someone new to the idea of seeking DBT therapy. Its overview is perfect in understanding what makes this kind of therapy useful in individuals who are not finding other types of therapy helpful. It breaks down the set of skills that you will learn to help regulate thoughts, emotions, and behaviors which I believe is helpful for anyone."" -Stephanie S."
