The Dialectical Behavior Therapy Primer
How DBT Can Inform Clinical Practice
Samenvatting
Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) has quickly become a treatment of choice for individuals with borderline personality disorder and other complicated psychiatric conditions. Becoming proficient in standard DBT requires intensive training and extensive supervised experience. However, there are many DBT principles and procedures that can be readily adapted for therapists conducting supportive, psychodynamic, and even other forms of cognitive behavioral treatments.Despite this, there is a dearth of easily accessible reading material for the busy clinician or novice.
This new book provides a clinically oriented, user–friendly guide to understanding and utilizing the principles and techniques of DBT for non–DBT–trained mental health practitioners and is an ideal guide to DBT for clinicians at all levels of experience.
Written by internationally recognized experts in suicide, self injury and borderline personality disorder, it features clinical vignettes, following patients through a series of chapters, clearly illustrating both the therapeutic principles and interventions.
