DBT at a Glance: An Introduction to Dialectical Behavior Therapy

About this book

This DVD provides a thorough introduction to the principles and methods of dialectical behavior therapy (DBT). Drs. Shari Manning and Tony DuBose--who have worked closely with DBT originator Marsha M. Linehan--draw on their extensive clinical and training experience to explain DBT in a way that is accessible to clinicians, DBT clients, and family members. The video begins with a brief mindfulness exercise. The presenters then discuss what clients can expect from DBT, what kinds of emotional and behavioral issues it targets, the components of treatment (including individual and group sessions and telephone consultation), and the stages of treatment. A printable PDF handout recaps the main points of the presentation. Running time: 180 minutes.
