Reviews"...represents a gold standard" for treatment of this diagnostic category."--Behaviour Research and Therapy, "Every once in a very long while in our field, a clinical innovation is introduced that profoundly improves patient care. Marsha Linehan's development of a cognitive-behavioral approach to borderline personality disorder is such a rare innovation....Her techniques are clear, teachable, and learnable, and make good common sense to the therapist and the patient. Dr. Linehan's methods have greatly improved my treatment of borderline individuals and my teaching of others in how best to understand and treat these patients.''--Allen Frances, MD "Marsha Linehan's tremendously in-depth and informative book and its companion skills-training manual offer a needed guide to the cognitive-behavioral treatment of borderline personality disorder....Her method has become so widely used by clinicians that the experts in psychosocial treatments consider it one of the best....Marsha Linehan's methods are highly eclectic because they are empirically based; they have been fashioned to fit what works best for borderline patients."--Lester Luborsky, PhD "Linehan is one of our most creative and articulate clinicians....As a true scientist-professional, she has not only been innovating in the treatment of one of the most daunting of disorders--borderline personality--but has successfully subjected her ideas to controlled empirical scrutiny."--Gerald Davison, PhD, University of Southern California "Dr. Linehan's approach is sensible, pragmatic, and effective.

SynopsisFor the average clinician, clinic, or inpatient facility, individuals with borderline personality disorder often represent the most difficult and insoluble cases. The first volume to provide strategies proven effective in controlled clinical trials, this book is a comprehensive, integrated approach to therapy with this population. Marsha Linehan presents specific guidelines that creatively combine the best elements of behavioral, psychoanalytic, strategic, and other commonly employed modalities. A clinical innovator, she has analyzed the aspects of borderline into their component parts and developed a systematized approach to each of them. The first section of the book presents an overview of the disorder and lays out a theoretical framework to guide the therapy. The second describes in detail how to assess borderline patients and how to organize and prioritize treatment goals and behavioral targets. The core of the treatment is the balance of acceptance and change strategies, both within each therapy interaction and over time. For problem solving with borderline personality disorder, the book provides specific strategies for contingency management, exposure, cognitive modification, and skills training. The last component is further elucidated in the companion Skills Training Manual, which programmatically details procedures and includes client handouts for step-by-step implementation. Finally, to enhance interpersonal communication, Dr. Linehan presents three case management sets: consultation to the patient, environmental intervention, and consultation to the therapist. Addressing the most stressful patient behaviors that clinicians encounter, the book includes a step-by-step outlinefor assessing suicide risk, managing suicide threats, and working with chronic suicidal behavior. Integrative approaches for such specific problems as crises, noncompliance, and breakdowns in the therapeutic relationship are also discussed. Lucidly detailing effective techniques, In this work, Marsha M. Linehan not only provides specific guidelines that creatively combine the best elements of behavioral, personality, psychoanalytic, strategic and other commonly employed modalities, but helps the therapist survive the process., For the average clinician, individuals with borderline personality disorder (BPD) often represent the most challenging, seemingly insoluble cases. This volume is the authoritative presentation of dialectical behavior therapy (DBT), Marsha M. Linehan's comprehensive, integrated approach to treating individuals with BPD. DBT was the first psychotherapy shown in controlled trials to be effective with BPD. It has since been adapted and tested for a wide range of other difficult-to-treat disorders involving emotion dysregulation. While focusing on BPD, this book is essential reading for clinicians delivering DBT to any clients with complex, multiple problems. Companion volumes: The latest developments in DBT skills training, together with essential materials for teaching the full range of mindfulness, interpersonal effectiveness, emotion regulation, and distress tolerance skills, are presented in Linehan's "DBT(R) Skills Training Manual, Second Edition," and "DBT(R) Skills Training Handouts and Worksheets, Second Edition." Also available: Linehan's instructive skills training videos for clients--"Crisis Survival Skills: Part One, Crisis Survival Skills: Part Two," "From Suffering to Freedom," "This One Moment," and "Opposite Action."

The background of DBT
This book gives a thorough theory about Dialectical Behavioral Therapy. It's in-depth and insightful, and I never grow tired of reading parts here and there. I always learn something new or get something I knew revised and from a different angle. This book is from 1993 so many think it's outdated. I can't see that's true, even though one must keep it in mind while reading it. The Manual which goes with it has been updated and for the use of DBT one should definitely use the new manual. But to understand the manual (also the new one) this book gives the perfect theory. I have heard some people complain that its difficult to read. I'm a Norwegian and I think it's easy to read - so I guess it depends on how used you are to reading non fiction books.Verified purchase: YesCondition: Pre-owned

The DBT reference manual!
Because it's considered the DBT Bible. This is the original book written to help those with borderline personality disorder but Marsha Linehan found that it worked for most personality disorders which is beneficial in the field of substance use disorder as well. Personality disorders in themselves cannot usually have a pill that will enable the person to live a well-functioning lifestyle. So Linehan came out with this book and it's found to help many different mental health disorders including addiction.Verified purchase: YesCondition: Pre-owned
