DBT® Skills Training Handouts and Worksheets - Second Edition

DBT is an amazing tool for changing your outlook on life, this therapy has made me capable of having a life worth living. I have mental freedom like I've never felt before. I hope they start teaching this stuff in schools it is essential to have if you were brought up by parents who didn't know how to regulate their own emotions therefor not being able to teach their children the importance of mindfulness, self love, calm communication during stressful times and so much more.

This literature was recommended to me by a good friend but also my counselor. I have begun reading the book and starting to apply its teachings. The format of this literature is clearly written and easy to comprehend. I highly suggest this book to those who have anxiety to even trying to find mere balance in one's life or issues with a particular relationship. As I continue reading and applying the teachings from this book, I will update my review. In regards to the physical condition, I purchased the workbook new and it arrived in a matter of 2 days with no damage to the book; however, the envelope it was shipped in was opened when I received it. Luckily nothing was missing or damaged.

Much better forms and handouts than the older version. More clear directions about how patients can use them directly. Well I previously felt more comfortable using Connie Callahans worksheets, with the release of these worksheets I will probably move to Dr. Linehans as my go-to.

Love the updates, and wish it had been published sooner.
I attended a dbt group where the leader grabbed worksheets from everywhere and anywhere, yet didn't hand out the explanation of skills sheets. Our group was mostly based on Linehan's work. Finally, for my own sanity's sake, I had to start buying dbt books on my own from the store. I have since left the group, and I still do the work independently with therapy. This book, a God-send, explains so much more what the skills are, and why they work. I love this book!

I have mixed thoughts about this book. On the plus side, there are an abundance of handouts and worksheets. Further, they update the old materials in a good way. On the down side, too many of the handouts are extremely "busy" with too much on a page. Most individuals who need the materials are not going to be in a state of mind to concentrate on those handouts that are "cluttered."

Wow! We waited a long time for the second edition of the DBT Skills Training manual from Marsha Linehan and this was well worth the wait! The handouts and worksheets are all extremely user friendly and I use them with all of my clients with and without BPD. I love the new sections on dialectics and the dissected worksheets on everything. I have been trained in and using DBT skills with my clients since my internships and with this long awaited book I have thrown out all my previous DBT handouts and worksheets! The added bonus of receiving a link to gain access to all the handouts and worksheets online is icing on the cake! This book is perfection!
