Britt H. Rathbone, co-author of Dialectical Behavior Therapy for At-Risk Adolescents

This is the first book to show in detail how dialectical behavior therapy skills and approaches can be adapted and integrated into the broader evidence-based practice of psychotherapy. DBT was first developed in the late 1980s by Marsha Linehan as a response to the failure of standard cognitive and behavioral models to effectively treat chronically suicidal clients, and was built on a "dialectical" balance of acceptance and change. The "standard" form of DBT remains highly structured, as was appropriate to its original treatment group. However, today's therapists are increasingly encouraged to combine and integrate empirically supported treatments in a broader form of evidence-based practice that recognizes the importance of therapist expertise and judgment balanced with client needs and preferences. In short, most therapists want to incorporate DBT into their skills portfolio rather than become a specialist. This groundbreaking book makes a compelling case that today's best research evidence supports the adaptation of DBT, and presents the approach as a robust theoretical orientation that can be applied to a wide range of clinical presentations.
