--Cedar Koons, MSW, LCSW, DBT researcher, trainer, and

been asking for something like this for years."

"As a fellow DBT therapist, DBT author, and DBT trainer, I am
always on the lookout for simple, practical, and effective ways of
making DBT skills usable, accessible, and applicable to the average
consumer. In this resource, you will find just that! Each card in

this card deck!"

"Building on their best-selling The Dialectical Behavior Therapy
Skills Workbook, McKay and Wood have developed this set of
cards that can serve as a useful reminder for clients who have
already learned the DBT skills. A clear, concise reminder of the
skill and then suggestion for practice, these cards will help
people to generalize their skills practice, increasing ability to
manage emotions and get problem behaviors under control. What a
wonderful tool for clients and clinicians to add to their
toolbox!"

speaker, and author of several DBT books, including Don't Let
Your Emotions Run Your Life for Teens and Calming the
Emotional Storm--Sheri Van Dijk, MSW
"DBT can be a seemingly overwhelming set of tasks. The
Dialectical Behavior Therapy Skills Card Deck offers prompts to
the many essential components of DBT that increase effective coping
behaviors, such as self-compassion, assertiveness, prompting a
values-based life, and increasing effective problem-solving skills.
It is thus an excellent tool to increase healthy behaviors and
decrease unhealthy behaviors."
--Thomas Marra, PhD, emeritus clinical director of Monterey
Psychiatric Health Facility, and author of Depressed and
Anxious and Dialectical Behavior Therapy in Private
Practice--Thomas Marra, PhD
"This cutting-edge resource is a much-needed addition to the
clinical compendium of any therapist seeking to help clients
develop effective and readily accessible coping skills,
regardless of presenting problems. Organized into the four core DBT
skills modules, the cards offer clear, concise, and easy-to-learn
steps and motivational prompts to help individuals overcome
roadblocks and improve their mindfulness, distress tolerance,
emotion regulation, and interpersonal effectiveness capabilities.
Whether used as an accessory to the authors' The Dialectical
Behavior Therapy Skills Workbook, as a transdiagnostic
therapeutic intervention, or as a stand-alone guide to
self-improvement, The Dialectical Behavior Therapy Skills Card
Deck will revolutionize traditional approaches to treating
emotion dysregulation and a myriad of associated problems."
--Rochelle I. Frank, PhD, assistant clinical professor in
the department of psychology at the University of California,
Berkeley; adjunct professor at The Wright Institute; and coauthor
of The Transdiagnostic Road Map to CaseFormulation and Treatment
Planning--Rochelle I. Frank, PhD
"What a great idea for increasing commitment to and competency with
DBT skills! These cards will be used by individuals in DBT,
skills-group leaders, and therapists alike. The cards can be used
as daily reminders for skills practice, as opportunities to select
a skill when distressed, and as reminders of the power of DBT. I am
excited to integrate this creative new tool into my DBT work."
--Britt Rathbone, MSSW, LCSW-C, coauthor of Dialectical
Behavior Therapy for At-Risk Adolescents, What Works with
Teens, and Parenting a Teen Who Has Intense
Emotions--Britt Rathbone, MSSW, LCSW-C
