Product Description
This volume is the authoritative presentation of Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), Linehan's comprehensive, integrated approach to treating individuals with borderline personality disorder. DBT--which has since been adapted for other difficult-to-treat disorders involving emotion dysregulation--combines cognitive and behavioral strategies with elements of psychodynamic, strategic, and other modalities. Delineated are specific strategies for contingency management, exposure, cognitive modification, and skills training. In-depth descriptions of skills training procedures are provided in the companion manual. Core emotion regulation skills are also taught directly to clients in Linehan's skills training videos.

 Cognitive-Behavioral Treatment of Borderline Personality Disorder October 12, 2008
This book by Marsha Linehan about the application of Dialectical Behavioral Therapy is the most important book I have ever read, since I work in the Borderline Personality Disorders Clinic at the Centre For Addiction and Mental Health in Toronto. I am currently reading it over a second time. Dr. Linehan's methods (i.e. Validation, the balance between acceptance and change, and the challenging of thoughts but not emotions) and her emphasis on the therapist's need for humility in dealing with clients who have Borderline Personality Disorder makes this the Bible for treating this difficult personality disorder that is usually resistant to treatment. A must read, not only for psychologists but counsellors and front-line DBT treatment staff as well.

Linehan has written an easy-to-read, well organized book on working with BPD; her methods are empirically based. In one review a criticism was expressed re: her use of the female pronoun throughout the book. This didn't distract me from reading and learning; it seemed a commonsense choice on Linehan's part because, as she points out, the majority of individuals with BPD are women. The accompanying workbook is worth purchasing, also.

As a Borderline reading a book written for the clinician, it opened my eyes as to how others see me. It has helped me to see the areas in my mind that CAN be changed and has helped me to begin making those changes.
It is written by a 'non-writer' and is very difficult to read at times without a psych. manual ;)!! lots of $1000.00 words that are not for the layman, but if you want to know more about 'The Borderline', it will help you to learn who and what they are, and how and why they they think the way they do. For those angels among us,it teaches the greatest program on how to help us to change.

I've just started reading the book and have skimmed the workbook. She is, as one reviewer stated, very compassionate. I myself am a borderline individual, recently discovering it as of last week from a caring boyfriend. I went to the library and checked this book out. Never have I been blown away by how this book describes my feelings and pains so accurately. I never, for all these years, understood what was wrong with me, assuming it was everyone else. Ms. Linehan has definately helped my outlook on life. I'm very grateful for this book.

As a relatively new therapist in a community mental health setting I noticed I kept getting clients that were diagnosed with BPD. No one else seemed to want them and as the new therapist I got "stuck" with them. After many months of frustration and questioning whether or not I made the right career choice, I stumbled across DBT.
My clients are doing much better and I feel much better after reading Linehan's works and attending behavioraltech.com's conferences for training. Case Managers, Psychiatrists, and Therapists are now working together as a team and splitting is not much of an issue anymore.
The techniques are wonderful and I feel so inspired; however, the text is a little dry and I had to give myself little rewards after each chapter to get through this book.
