DBT. No clinicians in this rapidly expanding field better know the
ins and outs of working with teens. This volume reveals in fine
detail how to deliver this treatment to teens and their families in
a way that will engage them, reach them, and offer them hope. This
skills manual is an essential addition to their body of work,
likely to make clinicians’ jobs easier while enhancing outcomes,
and sure to touch many lives."--from the Foreword by Marsha M.
Linehan, PhD, ABPP, Professor and Director Emeritus, Behavioral
Research and Therapy Clinics, University of Washington; developer
of DBT
"This book is a 'must' for beginners learning DBT in classrooms and
in practice environments, and also includes many helpful gems for
seasoned DBT clinicians. The skill descriptions, exercises,
discussion points, and homework assignments reflect a deep
understanding of the developmental problems and needs of teens and
their parents. The skills are put into everyday, understandable
situations, making this an incredibly useful manual. My copy will
be dog-eared within weeks!"--Alan E. Fruzzetti, PhD, Department of
Psychology, University of Nevada, Reno
"Rathus and Miller are excellent clinicians and gifted writers who
have once again teamed up to write a practical, relevant manual. I
became absorbed by the book's content and clarity. It is practical
in a way that helps clinicians speak to adolescents with compassion
and work with them effectively. Accessible instruction is provided
for applying DBT skills to a broad range of complex and maladaptive
adolescent behaviors. The skills are presented with maximal utility
and a minimum of jargon. For anyone working with adolescents, this
is the most comprehensive DBT manual yet."--Blaise Aguirre, MD,
Medical Director, 3East Dialectical Behavior Therapy program,
McLean Hospital; Department of Psychiatry, Harvard Medical
School
"Rathus and Miller have led the way in extending DBT to the world
of adolescents. Now these true treatment pioneers provide a clear
and efficient package for clinicians who want to implement the
approach. DBT gives struggling teens and their families the crucial
opportunity to learn skills and strategies for building a brighter
future. This is a 'must-have' resource for mental health
providers."--Perry D. Hoffman, PhD, Co-Founder and President,
National Education Alliance for Borderline Personality Disorder
"This amazing book is absolutely invaluable for clinicians who
treat adolescents struggling to control their emotions and
behavior. Written by the world's leading authorities on this topic,
this manual outlines the state of the art in adolescent DBT, and
does so in a way that is clear, accessible, and easy to implement.
This is one of those rare books that every clinician should
own--and use."--Matthew K. Nock, PhD, Department of Psychology,
Harvard University
"Self-harm and other high-risk behaviors in teenagers represent
huge challenges to families and health care professionals. This
manual offers an exceptional and creative set of practical tools
that really work and that are well accepted by teens and their
parents. If you treat adolescents with problems regulating their
emotions and behaviors, this volume is indispensable."--Lars
Mehlum, MD, PhD, Professor of Psychiatry and Suicidology,
University of Oslo, Norway -There is a wealth of information that
defines DBT for adolescents and explains what it addresses. The
individual sessions outlined are very helpful. I think any school
social worker who read through the (several) activities and
handouts would feel enthusiastic about how practical and helpful
the skills are….The sessions are laid out in an organized manner
with suggestions about where leaders should jump in….The details,
handouts, and activities are very valuable.--School Social Work
Journal, 04/01/2016ƒƒProvides us with a very up-to-date iteration
of DBT skills as they have been developed for adolescents and their
parents. The book is comprehensive, very inclusive, and carefully
detailed….This text could clearly be used in any graduate
psychology training program, social work training program, or
psychiatric residency where DBT skills are taught and where
students can participate in an ongoing DBT treatment
program.--Child and Family Behavior Therapy, 08/03/2015
