Description
Dialectical Behaviour Therapy: Distinctive Features provides a clear overview of this complex treatment approach. It articulates principles that guide clinicians in responding to problematic behaviours, particularly those associated with borderline personality disorder and suicidal tendencies. The book offers extensive clinical examples to demonstrate how the theory translates into practice. This updated edition reviews recent modifications to the structure of the treatment and considers new research evidence for both the biosocial theory underpinning DBT and its treatment efficacy. It is written for clinicians, students, and clients seeking a structured understanding of this treatment programme. Suitable for those looking to develop their knowledge about DBT or learn how it differs from other cognitive behaviour therapies, this book provides a useful summary of the treatment's distinctive features.
