Does anyone know of a good DBT book other than Linehan's stuff? I have the Linehan books and they aren't so user-friendly. Any ideas?
Thanks,
EE

Hi Emily,
I'm just curious, how do you like DBT? Are you just starting it? Has it been helpful? How has it been most helpful? I've been hearing a whole lot about it within the past few years.
Thanks!Regards,
Jay

Actually, I'm coming at DBT from the other side. I'm a therapist and I'm trying to incorporate the techniques into work with my clients. I haven't had experience being on the other side of it.

Oh, even better! I don't have any experience with it either, but I do know it's premise and such. It's getting pretty popular among those working with borderline patients, and of course with other patients. I did some practicum work at a state mental hospital and DBT was all the rage since it has some research behind it (although there were many social workers, nurses, and doctors who did not like it). What's your current framework? CBT or?

As for my orientation, I describe myself as "integrative." I incorporate some CBT stuff, but I have dynamic leanings. DBT appeals to me b/c it seems like it incorporates a lot of different stuff. I really like the mindfulness piece. I'll let you know what I think as I get more into it. I've heard a lot of good things.
Best,
EE

Another one out there is "Don't Let Your Emotions Run Your Life" by Scott Spradlin, MA.
It's in a workbook format, and I think there are used copies for sale at Amazon.
