Author: Sheri Van Dijk ISBN : Product Detai New from Format: PDFOriginally 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 handouts, case examples, and example therapist-client dialogue—everything clinicians need to equip their clients with these effective and life-changing skills.

Very helpful book. Literally read it over the weekend and incorporated ideas and strategies today as a therapist. I have received some DBT training and read several books about DBT. This book increased my understanding of the approach and provided me with more confidence in using the techniques. Really helps to have DBT 'simplified' especially for working clients who may have learning challenges or low literacy, etc.By Cleta Pines
DBT Made Simple provides an excellent introduction to DBT. The book uses plain language and clear examples of DBT in action, making it accessible for both clinicians and clients. The book includes exercises to practice DBT skills and also provides answers to frequently asked questions and common stumbling blocks.By Made In Louisiana
While the book is not a substitute for more intensive DBT training or treatment, it provides a thorough introduction to the therapy. I have read several other books on DBT (including Linehan's textbook on CBT for BPD, the skills training manual, and the DBT workbook), and this is, by far, my favorite. I very much appreciate Van Dijk's ability to present the material in a way that is clear and interesting. I also appreciate that it is more affordable than some of the other DBT books on the market. For these reasons, I recommend this book highly for anyone wanting to know more about DBT, and perhaps for those who have no access to a therapist trained in DBT.
