Great DBT skill workbook
582135
A Must-have DBT workbook for anyone that wants to learn DBT whether for BPD or for a number of other disorders or illness it's being used for. Even if you just want to learn how to cope better with stress. Take your time working through it, flip back and forth, and DO the exercises they will help you. But you have to PRACTICE, PRACTICE, PRACTICE. It really will make a difference in how you handle your life and will be a step towards that life worth living we all strive for everyday.

This is a great companion to have with The Whole Brain Child book. The activities are really matched up well with the book chapters and provide a practical focus for parents and practitioners. You need to have the book to gain the maximum benefit from the workbook. Excellent material for parents, carers and therapists.

This book is an awesome resource for anyone with Complex-PTSD. Explains things in concise clear language yet easy to read. There is even a facebook group of those going through this workbook.

This book is fantastic and I highly recommend it!!! I was hooked by chapter 1! It is full of useful exercise worksheets and the directions are very easy to understand. As a beginning therapist, it can feel overwhelming working with clients suffering from addiction and this book gives you a framework to work from. If you like using Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT) skills, you will love using this book with your clients!!

This book helped me tremendously as a therapist who now uses Ego State therapy as much as DBT to treat Borderline. After reading this book, I've become a much more effective therapist and I always recommend it to interns as week as therapists who are anxious to work with clients struggling with BPD.

I supervise mental health professionals towards licensure and this book is a great tool to assist with the basics of diagnosing with the DSM-IV and DSM-IV-TR. Although there is a newer one out specifically made for the DSM-IV-TR, there is almost no differences between the books and the older copy (this one) tends to be purchased for less.

this is a great workbook when working with adolescents in private practice or in group therapy. the reproducible worksheets are great discussion starters. goes well with reading book by same author.

I am a clinician, and I find this book to work well with my clients.  They can understand the point without being overwhelmed with the clinical jargon that so many books contain.  Many of them even like the unconventional way in which it is printed!  My clients with BPD seem to relate to the book without becoming offended, like with other books I have used. My clients with substance abuse problems get a better understanding of emotion-driven behavior and can relate to it.  Great book!

Great book. I've used it while working with multiple parents. Easy to follow and the accompanying DVD has good practical scenarios that can be applied to a variety of people.

I purchased this workbook at my counselor's recommendation.  She used copies of some of the activities out of this book in our sessions and I wanted to complete the rest of the book once our sessions were done.  The exercises are very helpful in identifying triggers and harmful thought patterns and gives you steps for working through them and preventing them in the future.  I found this book very useful.  Obviously, this book is not going to "cure" your depression and should not take the place of speaking with a doctor or counselor if you feel you have depression, but it does help you understand your depression better and what you can do to change your thought process.

Just received my copy as a gift. What a wonderful workbook. I had my doubts about being able to practice everyday activities with somebody with aphasia but this book is fantastic. It has great activities and even ones geared for using the phone or computer to complete tasks or find out practical information. The book is clear and easy to use and we are excited to go through all the activities together. I love how it is organized by activity like shopping or travel and not the skill like follow directions. You need a variety of skills to complete the activities but there is a nice combination of challenges and easy ones to warm up with. Thank you! This gives us something to work on now that insurance has stopped and more practical goals than we were given in actual therapy sessions.

I am an SLP who is always looking for new resources to use in therapy. I hadn't heard of this book but decided to buy it because it was on sale. I love it! It has large color photos for naming with prompts to assist with description, etc. There are also many photos of "scenes" for the patient to describe. This book also has basic sentences to read aloud for dysarthria patients. It even has some writing exercises, such as filling out a job application. I will definitely be getting some use out of this book!

Well worth the investment as this workbook is great for both group and individual sessions. I like the challenge of completing the material before assigning patients to work on the assessments and journaling handouts. Great way to expound on resilience and help patients identify it in their lives.

Rather practical workbook with good references.  Plenty of explanation and exercises for clients.  Gives structure if you are new to helping clients with this.
