Popular Psychotherapy Fad plus New Age Feminism by Still Struggling  1 Stars
October 12, 2009
I am a man who has been treated for depression at several locations, and it seems that therapists are trying to use Linehan to treat anything and everything. Some of the methods can obviously be helpful to some people, but there is never full disclosure about Linehan's methods. The treatment in this book was created treating only women who have tried to commit suicide. It is stated that this means the methods are to treat those most in pain and at risk for suicide, even though four to five times as many men commit suicide as women. This fact will never be told to the many men who will be charged thousands of dollars for this treatment, full of superficial pscho-babble catered to female patients. Linehan draws much from mysticism, radical feminism, and postmodernism, but this won't ever be told to a prospective patient. Every time I entered into DBT treatment I was told it was the most empirically grounded scientifically proven treatment there is, charged tens of thousands of dollars, and only later learned (after unsuccessful therapies) that these claims (which the therapists do believe) couldn't be further from the truth. DBT is a fad therapy that is seen as a cure-all, but does not provide much real substance, especially for men.

Well written, applicable skills. by Tatyana Shimunova (New York)  5 Stars
June 08, 2009
Whether you're a counselor teaching DBT or a an individual in need of one, this book is good. It doesn't go into the reasons of the disorder, just the basics on what skills to practice to help regulate emotions. Great in conjunction with DBT therapy but not a substitute to therapy, for those who need this DBT.
