Product Description
Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) is a therapeutic technique designed to counter extreme emotional reactions — before they lead to overwhelming anger, depression, anxiety, and stress-related ailments. An eclectic mix of cognitive-behavioral techniques, skills training, Zen, and existentialism, DBT helps readers pay attention to their emotions, assess their blocks to controlling them, become less judgmental of themselves when they lose control, and ultimately eliminate overpowering feelings. Worksheets and assessment exercises round out this breakthrough program.

The book could be a lot better by M. Wilson 2 Stars
July 11, 2009
Marsha Linehan's book is far better written and effective. I would buy that book and skip Mr. Spradlin's book completely. I expected more. More depth. More through explanations. More insightful exercises. Mr Spradlin is a mediocre writer. He lacks clarity and could really use a better editor. The book read like a watered down version of Ms. Linehans' book.

not worth the $$ by Leeny (Seaford DE) 2 Stars
November 18, 2008
I read the first several chapters of the book and felt it fell short of expectations. Fast-forwarding through to the back, I was disappointed further as it took serious psychological situations into a "we can handle this" approach. That is best left to a psychiatrist & counselor. Would not recommend.

Dialectical Behavior Therapy by librarycat (Kansas) 4 Stars
September 25, 2007
Having just been diagnosed with BPD, I have found books such as this very helpful as my husband and I discuss the best way for our family to deal with my sensitivity to emotions and mood changes. My oldest son is also displaying behaviors indicative of BPD and we are looking for help for him, too.

adjunctive by alison frei (madison, wi) 3 Stars

must use w/ the original great--Linehan's DBT skills training workbook. i like these exercises, but you will need to preview before each class and come up w/ a solid tie-in w/ the DBT skills...it just doesn't stand alone in a way that is useful to clients.

You can teach an old woman new skills by Hearts2k (New Hampshire) 5 Stars
June 09, 2007
You can teach 4 year olds to count. You can teach an old dog to fetch. At 45 I thought there was no help for me. I just couldn't change. But this book helped me to learn the skills I needed to get along with myself my family and society. It is dry reading but keep at it and you will find a new person within you.

The High Conflict Couple: A Dialectical Behavior Therapy Guide to Finding Peace, Intimacy, & Validation
by Alan E., Ph.D. Fruzzetti (Author), Marsha M. Linehan (Foreword)

Some couples need more than just the run-of-the-mill relationship advice to solve their problems in love. When out-of-control emotions are the root cause of problems in a relationship, no amount of effective communication or intimacy building will fix what ails it. What these "high-conflict" couples need is help regulating the emotions that provoke the "escape or win" mode of interaction that has come to define them.
