This book is a great adjunct to anyone interested in DBT. Not that it should be used instead of Marsha's original, but this one could be considered more of a condensed and easier to read version. The book itself is very well written to the point that I felt compelled to keep reading. The therapy itself is very similar to the regular DBT protocol with the major difference being the inclusion of family. I think this book does a good job at explaining and showing how those small differences make a major impact into the therapy itself. Highly recommended.

This book is wonderful when working within the DBT model with teenaged clients. It addressed issues specific to the adolescent population.

This book offers insight that is very important for parents raising a teen who struggles with depression and suicidal thoughts. It is based on very extensive experience treating adolescents. It is very well written and easy to understand. It offers insights that can help the entire family. I strongly recommend dialectical behavioral therapy; it saved our son.
