And that's me. I've been taking a class/group for months on the practices of Dr. Linehan. Of course, this was taught by an awesome doctor and an advanced degree student (who is definately going to make the world a much happier place). All of this combined, this workbook (which the class works out of) is happily, lifechanging. After almost 5 years of suffering with PTSD and depression suffered from injuries in a car accident, only these past few months working through this theory, I feel like my life is coming back now. My family is happier, my life is happier, I am happier. Find a therapist who CAN work with you through this theory and most everyone will benefit with a more positive and happier YOU! Good luck! It works!
 not a useful book March 24, 2008
4 out of 15 found this review helpful
I was asked to get this book by my therapist for use in my therapy. I think that this book does more harm then good. While the homework sheets could perhaps be useful, the overall book is written for the therapist. While most training manuals need to be written dispassionately and for general use. This book, frankly, lacks humanity. It generalizes about people with BPD to the extreme, allowing for no middle ground. I also find the large title to be violating of my privacy.
DBT Group made easy October 5, 2007
4 out of 5 found this review helpful
This manual is fantastic! Not only does it provide succinct guidelines on how to teach the core Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT) skills, but it stands alone quite well too. The additional text (Cognitive Behavioral Treatment of Borderline Peronality Disorder), Linehan wrote explains Borderline Personality Disorder (BPD) in detail, and provides detailed discriptions of each skill, is excellent for the professional; however, for those who are suffering from BPD, and those just beginning to understand DBT, this manual provides invaluable information. Each skill is presented and exercises are provided, including group discussion hints. With minor modification this manual can be used successfully with adolescent women and men. The manual makes group preparation so much easier, and by conducting group in a didactic manner the skills are easily taught and learned. I highly recommend it for anyone touched by BPD.

This workbook for DBT (Dialectic Behavior Therapy) is a solid and pragmatic guide for those seeking help with borderline personality disorders. Simple to use and clear to understand, this workbook provides information and exercises to ground those troubled with this disorder. Highly recommended.
