DBT Metaphors and Stories gives therapists and DBT skills trainers the skills they need to make effective use of dialectical behavior therapy and to help clients understand how a dialectical approach to the complex realities of life helps build a life worth living.Each page is devoted to explaining a specific DBT skill. The book is structured so that it can be used in several ways, including as a reference tool to look up specific skills the reader is struggling to understand or (for skills trainers) to teach. The book can also be read cover to cover, both for understanding the broad array of skills and as a source of motivation to devote one's self to regular practice of skills. It's a vital guide for trainers, therapists, and their clients interested in fully harnessing DBT's power to change lives.The second edition includes new metaphors and stories in each chapter, as well as a new chapter detailing the research into how the use of metaphors and storytelling are crucial for effective therapeutic communication. Insights into how to implement these strategies are also highlighted.
