DBT Skills Training Manual Second Edition, Available separately: DBT Skills Training Handouts and Worksheets

I am currently in DBT. I've gotten tired of trying to shuffle through all the papers I'm sent for classes. I purchased this book to be able to read all the parts that my group leader believes isn't worth copying n giving to us, the class members. There is SO much insight in this book! The DBT program is laid out simply, easily so that it may be understood by all who read the book. I love my book n guard it fiercely from any harm.Usually this book sells for $80 n up. I'm grateful to have gotten it for under $60!

It's packed with practical skills for managing overwhelming emotions, improving relationships, and staying grounded. The explanations are clear, the exercises are helpful, and the handouts reinforce the skills. This book has honestly given me my life back. Highly recommend!

I think that's a bunk law! If there's freedom found in a book you shouldn't have to be a therapist to teach it! I definitely recommend buying the student book if you are offended! Have PTSD or constantly ruminate in your head! Through this book you can get out of the trend of being continually offended! It is not God's freedom it's worldly freedom. But it opens you up enough to buy God's gold! Revelations 3:18

The book itself is exactly what I needed. The condition is NOT new, has humidity damage and foxed edges on cover, but that does not appear to be related to the seller.

This newer edition of Marsha Lineman's groundbreaking work in DBT is fantastic. It fills in many gaps from the first publication (20 years ago) and is a thorough walk through and explanation of Dialectical Behavioral Therapy. I purchased this in order to continue the work I began in intensive therapy a couple years ago and I find it to be a very helpful resource. I also purchased the accompanying "Handouts and Worksheets" and use it as well. I would imagine, however, if you were not a trained therapist and just wanting to know more about DBT, this book might be overwhelming. Having walked through intensive DBT and worked with a coach for a couple years, though, I have found this book to be invaluable to my continued recovery.

The book is in great condition, arrived promptly, and customer service surrounding the experience was excellent. I would buy from them again.

This book looks thorough and well written, however it's obviously written for therapists and those running DBT groups. It tells the reader exercises to use during groups and sessions and how to deal with clients in various situations. If you are using DBT as a way to heal and learn skills, this book will be overwhelming and way more than you are needing. If you're a provider it looks amazing. I also bought the new "DBT Skills Training Handouts and Worksheets" spiral bound book by Dr. Linegan. It's much more what I was hoping for. It includes pages I can work through in group and on my own. I also really like "You Untangled" by Amy Tibbets as a good book to help learn skills without being overwhelmed.

This is fantastic - it is as good as the first skills training manual of many years ago (red cover) was hard to use. This is absolutely packed full of information, tips, guidance, and more - it will probably take me a year to get through it, but every page has something I can use. And once you buy it, you can download all the handouts and worksheets for free. (I bought the spiral-bound handouts book first, before I realized that this was really the book I was looking for. don't spend your money on that one, unless you're a group participant and want it all in one place. If you're a therapist or leader, it's much easier to copy the worksheets and handouts if they're NOT spiral bound.)
