Customer Reviews

Informative book

This book is a great adjunct to anyone interested in DBT. Not that it should be used instead of Marsha's original, but this one could be considered more of a condensed and easier to read version. The book itself is very well written to the point that I felt compelled to keep reading. The therapy itself is very similar to the regular DBT protocol with the major difference being the inclusion of family. I think this book does a good job at explaining and showing how those small differences make a major impact into the therapy itself. Highly recommended.

A must have

This book is wonderful when working within the DBT model with teenaged clients. It addressed issues specific to the adolescent population.

Very Pleased

The book arrived in a timely fashion and was in excellent condition. What more can one ask for?
