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.

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
