Developed for the treatment of borderline personality disorder, dialectical behavioral therapy (DBT) has been shown to be effective as a treatment for a variety of other mental health problems, particularly those marked by overwhelming emotions. Research shows that DBT can improve the ability to manage depression without losing control and behaving destructively. To order to make use of these techniques, you need to develop skills to four key areas: pain management, meditation, emotional control and communication effectiveness.

The first chapter of this book briefly explores the theory and research underlying DBT, explaining how DBT differs from traditional cognitive behavioral therapy. The second part reflects on the strategies that therapists can use at individual client sessions, while the third part discusses the four training modules that form the backbone of DBT: essential tolerance, pain management, emotional regulation, and intimacy performance. The book includes handouts, case studies, and an example of a therapist-client dialog— all counselors need to inspire their patients with these powerful and life-changing skills.

Start by working on the introductory activities and transfer to the advanced skills chapters after making progress. Whether you are a trained reader or a general reader, whether you use this book to promote your practice in counseling or as a framework of self-help, you will benefit from this easy, practical guide to better manage your emotions.
