Review

., ."very engaging personal style Dr. Linehan displays, whether conversing with a patient, addressing a grand rounds, conducting face-to-face interviews, or talking to a seminar group....These two tapes and their accompanying manuals are highly recommended for their compelling learning value. All mental health professionals, in whatever professional milieu they work, will find them of personal and professional value." --"Psychiatric Services"
"DBT is the only treatment for BPD to date that has been shown to have efficacy in controlled clinical trials....Plainly, all therapists treating BPD should be knowledgeable about DBT. These videotapes are the most efficient way to get acquainted. They are accompanied by detailed program manuals that summarize key points and provide a guide to the literature. Given the deft interweaving of didactic and clinical material and the clarity of the presentation, these videotapes also could be used to educate patients and their family members." --"Bulletin of the Menninger Clinic"

Product Description

An important component of DBT is the use of skills training to help manage the extreme beliefs, actions, and attitudes that form the criteria for borderline personality disorder. In actual therapy sessions, the video shows Dr. Linehan teaching patients the use of such skills as mindfulness, distress tolerance, interpersonal effectiveness, and emotional regulation. Vividly depicting the various stages of treatment, this program shows how DBT helps clients decrease negative behaviors and work toward personal goals. Designed for therapists, the video is also suitable for use in client and family education.

 

In an especially compelling feature, the video includes live interview sessions between Dr. Linehan and Allen J. Frances, Chairman of the DSM-IV Task Force. In these probing dialogues, Dr. Frances asks Dr. Linehan the nuts-and-bolts questions all clinicians want answered about how DBT works and what its advantages are over other therapies.

4.0 out of 5 stars Marcia Linehan on DVD, October 8, 2011

By 

Kassidy Brown "Nguma3" (Olympia, Wa.) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Treating Borderline Personality Disorder: The Dialectical Approach (DVD)

To those of us in the psychiatric field who have never had the opportunity to see Marcia Linehan do a DBT session, this is worth buying. I am a strong believer in the value of DBT (therapy) for any patient who has trouble with emotional regulation, distress tolerance, etc., not just people with a borderline diagnosis, so I enjoyed this DVD. My daughter gave it to me for Christmas and it was a great present!
