197 p. ; paperback ; 26 cm. "Originally developed for the treatment of borderline personality disorder, dialectical behavior therapy (DBT) is a powerful, evidence-based treatment for mental health conditions in which clients struggle with emotion regulation, such as bipolar disorder, anger problems, depression, and anxiety. DBT made simple will provide you with everything you need to begin using DBT techniques in your therapy sessions. After briefly covering the theory and research behind DBT and how DBT differs from traditional cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) approaches, this book focuses on strategies that you can use in indivdual client sessions, while outlining the four core skills that form the backbone of DBT: distress tolerance, mindfulness, emotion regulation, and interpersonal effectiveness. Also included are handouts, case examples, and samples of therapist-client dialogue."-- Machine generated contents note: pt. 1 The Foundation -- 1.The Basics of DBT -- 2.Preparing for the Individual Session: What You Need to Know -- 3.The "B" in DBT: What You Need to Know about Behavior Theory -- 4.DBT Strategies for the Individual Session -- pt. 2 The Skills -- 5.Introducing Clients to Mindfulness -- 6.Additional Skills for Mindfulness -- 7.Helping Clients Reduce Emotional Reactivity -- 8.Helping Clients Survive a Crisis: Distress Tolerance Skills -- 9.What Clients Need to Know about Emotions -- 10.Skills to Help Clients Regulate Emotions: Reducing Painful Emotions -- 11.Skills to Help Clients Regulate Emotions: Increasing Positive Emotions -- 12.Helping Clients Become More Effective in Relationships.
