Summary

"This hands-on companion presents in session-by-session replicable detail the clinical strategies designed to remediate four specific skills areas arrested in the BPD patient: "mindfulnesss" (balancing emotion and rationality to achieve wisdom), interpersonal effectiveness, emotion regulation, and distress tolerance. A component in Dr. Linehan's comprehensive treatment program, the manual also features practical pointers on when to use the other treatment strategies described in Cognitive-Behavioral Treatment Currently employed in a variety of inpatient and outpatient settings, this manual provides everything a clinician needs. It includes lecture notes, discussion questions, exercises, and practical advice on what problems are likely to arise and how best to deal with them. It also features an array of client handouts that may be readily photocopied. Originally written for skills training groups, the manual can also be used with individual patients"--Publisher description.
