It’s December, the month of gift giving, whether that be for yourself or a loved one. Well, we have released our latest book of the month which makes an interesting and informative read for someone interested in the realm of Dialectical Behaviour Therapy.
The book of the month is, drum roll please… Dialectical Behaviour Therapy (CBT Distinctive Features) written by Michaela A.Swales and Heidi L. Heard, plus edited by Windy Dryden. But what exactly will you learn from reading this book? Let’s find out..
Book Description
Dialectical Behaviour Therapy: Distinctive Features highlights theoretical and practical features of the treatment using 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 more recent research evidence, for both the biosocial theory underpinning the treatment and treatment efficacy.
The writing provides a clear overview of a complex treatment, through a unique application of strategies and a discussion of a comprehensive treatment programme that structures the therapeutic journey for the client.
The book will be of interest to the following:
- Clinicians wanting to develop their knowledge about the treatment, prior to formal training
- Post-graduate students in mental health seeking to learn how to conceptualise complex problems
- DBT trained clinicians who require a useful précis of the treatment with clinical examples
- Clients about to embark upon this treatment
This book provides a clear and structured overview of a complex treatment. It is written for both practising clinicians and students wishing to learn more about DBT and how it differs from other cognitive behaviour therapies.
