Description
Changing Behaviour in DBT? Problem Solving in Action explores one of the core components of dialectical behaviour therapy (DBT): problem solving. Leading DBT trainers Heidi L. Heard and Michaela A. Swales elucidate the therapy's principles for behaviour change, using case examples to illustrate effective application.
The authors focus on common pitfalls therapists encounter when analysing target behaviours, such as suicidal attempts or binge eating episodes, and selecting suitable solutions. They provide guidelines for implementing DBT problem-solving strategies, including skills training, stimulus control, cognitive restructuring, and contingency management.
