Introduction to DBT: Handouts for Therapists, Skills Trainers and Clients

By Rebecca Swift

The information presented in this book is adapted directly from Marsha Linehan's skills training manual. Rather than a dense theoretical handbook, this book is designed to present an introduction to the theoretical and practical uses of DBT in terms almost anyone can understand.

Each page contains detailed information about dialectical behavior therapy presented in an easy to read visual format designed to be easily consumed by teens and adults.

The print edition is 8.5x11" so it can easily be photocopied and reproduced as handouts for clients, therapists and skills trainers. The book is also available as an eBook with colorful images that can be explored.

Dialectical behavior therapy is an evidence-based practice that began with Marsha Linehan's efforts to treat personality disorders and emotional dysregulation.

Evidence suggests that learning DBT skills is useful for many people in treating mood disorders and suicidal ideation, as well as for changing behavioral patterns such as self-harm and substance use.
