I have done DBT. There is another current thread where I put some information: "http://www.dr-bob.org/babble/psycho/20030407/msgs/227595.html";
It is designed for people with Borderline Personality Disorder, but I think that it could be useful for many (most?) people.
I would be happy to answer specific questions.
Dinah, even if there isn't a skills training group in your area, there may be a therapist who does DBT. I have a friend who goes to a therapist nearby and they spend part of the session doing DBT skills training.
I highly recommend the book if you ever read stuff that is written for therapists. The skills training manual has the pages they use for handouts in the back - so even if you can't do it formally you could try to go through some of it yourself (or ask your therapist particular questions).
It has been very helpful for me.
