"This book is an incredibly indepth explanation of Dialectical
Behavioral Therapy (DBT) and it's uses, methods, and benefits. Each
chapter breaks down different aspects of DBT from who this therapy
is best suited for, the methods used, family support and
involvement, and the history of DBT.
It does a great job contrasting DBT to CBT(cognitive Behavioral
therapy) and really showing the intricacies of both forms of
therapy to help those reading choose which may be better suited to
their specific needs.
This is a great resource particularly for parents of teens who
struggle with BPD (the main disorder that DBT was created to
address). It includes an entire chapter geared toward the treatment
of teens and parental/family support for minors. It also would be a
fantastic resource for a therapist looking into becoming a member
of a DBT team and working to learn and incorporate this type of
therapy into their practice. As well as, it is useful to family
members of anyone currently in DBT, or to help explain to a loved
one what DBT is; so they can consider pursuing that therapy for
themselves."

"I thoroughly enjoyed the insight that reading this book on DBT
(Dialectical Behavioral Therapy) brought me. I, like many others in
the world struggle often with feelings typically deemed
"inappropriate" or "too intense" by the majority. This caused me to
have a double or triple sense of shame and embarrassment as well as
feeling as though I just don't get the vast majority of people and
the way they operate, I felt left out and cast aside. I felt
unloved and unwanted and these feelings only caused further
instances of acting out and displaying behaviors others found
undesirable ranging from annoying to unsettling and in very intense
situations even somewhat scary.
My life had become dark and unfamiliar and I was not fully in the
driver's seat, things were looking and feeling bleak and I had no
hope for anything better as I believed I was stuck and cursed and
that there was no way out until I did a course of DBT and learned
new ways of thinking and living. The therapy was almost immediately
effective once I had gone through enough of the recommended
sessions to grasp the concepts well as get the opportunity to put
the recommended accompanying techniques into action.
This book fully explores all the concepts and techniques that I
engaged learning about with a flesh and blood therapist and I'm
some instances is even more insightful as it speaks from an
omnipotent 3rd person perspective giving the pov of both client and
clinician (though mainly the client). I think any one interested in
self improvement, any behavioral professional and even someone lost
and desperate looking for answers may very well find exactly what
they seek in this book."

"I found this Dialectical Behavior Therapy workbook to be so
helpful for someone new to the idea of seeking DBT therapy. Its
overview is perfect in understanding what makes this kind of
therapy useful in individuals who are not finding other types of
therapy helpful. It breaks down the set of skills that you will
learn to help regulate thoughts, emotions, and behaviors which I
believe is helpful for anyone."
