About this product

Product Information

For the average clinician, clinic, or inpatient facility, individuals with borderline personality disorder often represent the most difficult and insoluble cases. The first volume to provide strategies proven effective in controlled clinical trials, this book is a comprehensive, integrated approach to therapy with this population. Marsha Linehan presents specific guidelines that creatively combine the best elements of behavioral, psychoanalytic, strategic, and other commonly employed modalities. A clinical innovator, she has analyzed the aspects of borderline into their component parts and developed a systematized approach to each of them. The first section of the book presents an overview of the disorder and lays out a theoretical framework to guide the therapy. The second describes in detail how to assess borderline patients and how to organize and prioritize treatment goals and behavioral targets. The core of the treatment is the balance of acceptance and change strategies, both within each therapy interaction and over time. For problem solving with borderline personality disorder, the book provides specific strategies for contingency management, exposure, cognitive modification, and skills training. The last component is further elucidated in the companion Skills Training Manual, which programmatically details procedures and includes client handouts for step-by-step implementation. Finally, to enhance interpersonal communication, Dr. Linehan presents three case management sets: consultation to the patient, environmental intervention, and consultation to the therapist. Addressing the most stressful patient behaviors that clinicians encounter, the book includes a step-by-step outlinefor assessing suicide risk, managing suicide threats, and working with chronic suicidal behavior. Integrative approaches for such specific problems as crises, noncompliance, and breakdowns in the therapeutic relationship are also discussed. Lucidly detailing effective techniques

"...represents a gold standard" for treatment of this diagnostic category."--Behaviour Research and Therapy, "Every once in a very long while in our field, a clinical innovation is introduced that profoundly improves patient care. Marsha Linehan's development of a cognitive-behavioral approach to borderline personality disorder is such a rare innovation....Her techniques are clear, teachable, and learnable, and make good common sense to the therapist and the patient.

Product is 95% alike picture but a little more blurry. Controller play well but had a notice from psn that my joypad wasn't authentic and could by problematic🤷‍♂️ no trouble so far! Shipping was fast but no tracking and worst packaging ever.. like the box came banged up... send a question to seller never had a reply 😅.... Good product overall, excellent price, fast shipping, wrapped only on 4 sides out of 6, no tracking and never reply... 4★ product / 2★ seller ✌️

The book is in perfect condition, brand new, and is exactly as described. This item is difficult to find here, and the seller priced it very reasonably. It shipped from the UK to Canada, and unfortunately took a little longer to arrive than the seller hoped, but it was shipped less than 24 hours after I purchased. When I contacted the seller, they were very responsive and helpful. I would not hesitate to purchase from this seller again. Definitely recommend!

  • The background of DBT

    This book gives a thorough theory about Dialectical Behavioral Therapy. It's in-depth and insightful, and I never grow tired of reading parts here and there. I always learn something new or get something I knew revised and from a different angle. This book is from 1993 so many think it's outdated. I can't see that's true, even though one must keep it in mind while reading it. The Manual which goes with it has been updated and for the use of DBT one should definitely use the new manual. But to understand the manual (also the new one) this book gives the perfect theory. I have heard some people complain that its difficult to read. I'm a Norwegian and I think it's easy to read - so I guess it depends on how used you are to reading non fiction books.

  • The DBT reference manual!

    Because it's considered the DBT Bible. This is the original book written to help those with borderline personality disorder but Marsha Linehan found that it worked for most personality disorders which is beneficial in the field of substance use disorder as well. Personality disorders in themselves cannot usually have a pill that will enable the person to live a well-functioning lifestyle. So Linehan came out with this book and it's found to help many different mental health disorders including addiction.
