DESCRIPTION
Review
"This superb book finds the true dialectic between sophisticated writing and a 'how-to' approach. It is a 'must' for the shelves of every DBT therapist and those interested in the approach. Koerner is to be commended for this major contribution to the field."--Perry D. Hoffman, PhD, President, National Education Alliance for Borderline Personality Disorder
"An incredibly useful book showing you how to work with difficult-to-treat clients. The presentation of DBT is crystal clear and highly practical, including systematic guidelines and concrete examples of actual interactions. I recommend this book to students and to new and advanced mental health practitioners, who will all encounter emotionally dysregulated clients."--Leslie S. Greenberg, PhD, Distinguished Research Professor, Department of Psychology, York University, Canada
"A beautifully written, engaging description of emotional dysregulation and its treatment through DBT. The book is richly illustrated with case material and extensive client-therapist dialogues that truly demonstrate DBT in action."--Andrew Christensen, PhD, Department of Psychology, University of California, Los Angeles
"Koerner, an expert DBT therapist, has written a hands-on, clinically rich work that provides guidelines for when and how to apply DBT strategies for complex cases. The material is accessible to both experienced clinicians and therapists in training. This book is an invaluable guide and a handy tool kit for working with patients with pervasive emotion dysregulation."--Stefan G. Hofmann, PhD, Department of Psychology, Boston University
"This practical book teaches how to apply DBT theory to clinical problems, providing concrete ideas regarding the therapeutic process. The numerous case vignettes are excellent and create the effect of having a mentor telling you how to proceed. When Marsha Linehan writes the foreword to a book on DBT, you know that it is a work that stays true to DBT theory and practice."--Doody's Reviews
(Doody's Reviews 2012-10-01)"A must read for anyone wanting to master the techniques of individual therapy in dialectical behavior therapy (DBT). It is recommended for graduate classes in DBT, beginning and experienced therapists with or without prior knowledge of DBT, and those interested in clinical applications of emotions research....More than fulfills Kelly Koerner's promise in the preface of providing a user-friendly guide to conducting nuanced, competent individual therapy, using the theory and techniques of DBT. It is full of clear, straightforward information about how to initiate DBT, motivate clients, and use effective strategies to help emotionally and behaviorally dysregulated clients reduce their vulnerability and gain mastery in their lives. This book is equally strong in providing an overview of DBT and in explaining in detail the nitty-gritty steps of executing the treatment as it unfolds moment to moment. That Koerner is a DBT master therapist is evident throughout. Graduate students in the helping professions and beginning therapists will learn much about conducting DBT and how to move seamlessly from theory to execution. Experienced practitioners, both DBT therapists and those new to DBT, will benefit from the comprehensive overview, case formulations, and applications demonstrated in clinical vignettes. Clinicians from other theoretical orientations may find value in the discussions of boundaries, use of confrontation, and working with the therapeutic alliance. Therapists who are aware of only DBT skills training may be surprised at the expertise required to execute the individual therapy of DBT. The book is part of the well-respected Guides to Individualized Evidence-Based Treatment series, edited by Jacqueline Persons....Koerner does a truly impressive job...of presenting how the theory and spirit of DBT play out in practice. In eminently readable prose, she presents the nuts and bolts of therapeutic techniques clearly and succinctly. The book packs a tidal wave of information into a relatively brief volume....A major contribution to the 'how-to' therapy literature."--PsycCRITIQUES

REVIEWS
This volume is the authoritative presentation of Dialectical Behavior Therapy DBT Linehan 39 s comprehensive integrated approach to treating individuals with A comprehensive guide to help practitioners diagnose the cause of pain based on symptoms presented and facilitate its management with appropriate treatment Astuto J Allen L 2009 Home Visitation and Young Children An Approach Worth Investing In Social Policy Report Publication of the Society for Research in Find Where A cell Phone Is Easily Ever since you had your first cellphone or landline phone how many times have you asked yourself how can I find out who is this
Koerner has absolutely hit the mark! In my opinion, this book is right up there along with the best that have stood the test of time. I am a DBT therapist, trainer of DBT therapists and borderline personality disorder author and have never before written a review on Amazon, however could not hold back on my urge to share my excitement with colleagues. I expect that most clinicians, who practice DBT or integrate aspects of DBT into their practice, will cherish this book.
Koerner's humanity permeates the book in her deep respect and compassion for client and therapist alike and in her efforts to alleviate suffering by supporting clients and therapists towards their goals. The book compassionately validates the considerable challenges we face as therapists and is also hopeful and empowering of therapists by the rare gift of giving precise examples of what we can do at any one moment.
Koerner describes case conceptualization and treatment planning that underpins successful future micro-interventions; then describes the core principles of DBT practice (behavioral therapy, validation/acceptance, dialectics) and finishes with a chapter on team. In covering these topics, Koerner integrates realistic complex scripted therapy dialogue with clients to illustrate what she, a consummate expert DBT therapist, might be thinking and doing moment to moment that weaves in the core principles.
Every surfer searches for the perfect wave and every skier searches for the perfect snow conditions; and every decade or so the perfect wave or snow conditions exist in a brief moment of perfection and joy. Koerner has created, for me, the perfect 20 page chapter that I believe will bring joy to many therapists for a long time.
