Synopsis

Originally developed for the treatment of borderline personality disorder, dialectical behavior therapy, or DBT, has rapidly become one of the most popular and most effective treatments for all mental health conditions rooted in out-of-control emotions. However, there are limited resources for psychologists seeking to use DBT skills with individual clients. In the tradition of ACT Made Simple, DBT Made Simple provides clinicians with everything they need to know to start using DBT in the therapy room.

The first part of this book briefly covers the theory and research behind DBT and explains how DBT differs from traditional cognitive behavioral therapy approaches. The second part focuses on strategies professionals can use in individual client sessions, while the third section teaches the four skills modules that form the backbone of DBT: core mindfulness, distress tolerance, emotion regulation, and interpersonal effectiveness. The book includes case examples and example therapist-client dialogue—everything clinicians need to equip their clients with these effective and life-changing skills.

Simplified look into DBT. I liked how the skills have been explained very clearly. It was useful to dive into therapist-client consultation parts. More useful strategies how to sell skills for patients when they are not willing to practice skills they are actually lacking of. Reminder for myself abo......more

Goodreads review by Arushi on December 08, 2022

A good primer on DBT. It had plenty of exercises and worksheets, and had lots of useful information for beginner psychotherapists and mental health professionals. I feel like DBT is a complex model, and the best way to use it is not in the form of the standardised "program" which is a bit too clinic......more

Goodreads review by Amy on June 12, 2020

I really like how the book reads however the organization of the books seems to be a mess. The author does identify the DBT skills and modules but they are scattered throughout. I also noticed that the author did not teach many of the acronyms that DBT is comprised of. I understood and gained inform......more
