"An abundance of fresh, practical and reproducible tools for
healthier emotions and stronger resilience. The second edition
updates and expands the knowledge, research and skills so greatly
needed by mental health professionals and those who depend upon us
to deliver the most accessible, effective and well-proven
treatments possible." -- Henry Emmons, MD "Author of The Chemistry
of Joy and The Chemistry of Calm"
"How do you make the best book about DBT by its most gifted
trainers even better? You find ways to include more great ideas and
pragmatic skills while making it even more accessible and
immediately applicable." -- Barry Duncan, PsyD "Author of On
Becoming a Better Therapist and developer of the Partners for
Change Outcome Management System"
"Marsha Linehan developed DBT. And Lane Pederson has expanded it!
Many practitioners have knowledge of evidence-based practice, but
few have the ability to translate that knowledge into practical,
real-world tools that can truly help give struggling individuals a
life worth living. Unlike the many books that go unused on your
shelf, this companion is a daily 'go-to' resource for any practice
treating emotionally dysregulated clients. Dr. Pederson is a true
leader in the field and his second edition has outdone his first!"
-- Jeff Riggenbach, PhD, LPC "Author of The CBT Toolbox: A Guide
for Clients & Clinicians and The BPD Toolbox: An Evidence-Based
Guide for Regulating Emotions"
"One of the most exciting aspects of this book is the expansion of
six other skill modules: Dialectics, Cognitive Modification,
Problem-Solving, Addictions, Building a Satisfying Life, and Social
Media. The new modules help clinicians and clients address their
real world struggles by providing meaningful content and fresh
ideas." -- Mark Carlson, PsyD, LP "Founder & CEO of Mental Health
Systems, specializing in DBT treatment"
"Pederson is able to explain concepts in new ways that bring
additional clarity even to seasoned DBT therapists and trainers.
The addition of modules on addiction and social media, as well as
skills to learn behaviors that enhance anyone's life (such as
problem solving, making friends or developing routines) make this
book indispensable." -- Pat Harvey, ACSW, LCSW-C "DBT trainer and
therapist, co-author of Parenting a Child Who Has Intense Emotions,
Dialectical Behavior Therapy for At-Risk Adolescents and Parenting
a Teen Who Has Intense Emotions"
"The second edition is easy to understand, practical, and a welcome
addition to anyone's library -- therapist or layperson. The manual
presents the skills in a way that is self-explanatory, rather than
requiring a trained professional to wade through pages of clinical
jargon. Once again, Lane irreverently refusing to tiptoe through
proprietary minefields in order to make DBT more accessible to
everyone." -- Stephanie Vaughn, PsyD "Clinical psychologist and
DBT-Linehan Board of Certification, Certified Clinician"
"There are many books and resources about DBT, but Pedersons second
edition rises above as an essential. His strategies have been
proven in more than a decade of successful clinical practice, and
this new book makes his important work accessible to all." -- Cathy
Moonshine, PhD, MSCP, MAC, CADC III "Author of Acquiring Competency
and Achieving Proficiency with DBT, Volume I & II"
"This manual is the most thorough, up-to-date, and valuable
resource for clinicians who use DBT. Now spiral-bound, it's easy
and convenient to make copies for both individuals and groups. And
the inclusion of strategies for using social media is
brilliant,especially for those working with adolescents and young
adults. It's becoming more and more evident that DBT skills are
life skills, and this manual provides all the necessary tools. A
most beneficial book." -- Linda A. Curran, BCPC, LPC, CACD, CCPD
"Author of bestselling 101 Trauma-Informed Interventions"
