Originally developed for the treatment of borderline personality disorder, dialectical behavior therapy, or DBT, has rapidly become one of the most popular and most effective treatments for all mental health conditions rooted in out-of-control emotions. However, there are limited resources for psychologists seeking to use DBT skills with individual clients. In the tradition of ACT Made Simple, DBT Made Simple provides clinicians with everything they need to know to start using DBT in the therapy room. The first part of this book briefly covers the theory and research behind DBT and explains how DBT differs from traditional cognitive behavioral therapy approaches. The second part focuses on strategies professionals can use in individual client sessions, while the third section teaches the four skills modules that form the backbone of DBT: core mindfulness, distress tolerance, emotion regulation, and interpersonal effectiveness. The book includes handouts, case examples, and example therapist-client dialogue—everything clinicians need to equip their clients with these effective and life-changing skills.

In this second edition of CBT Made Simple, two renowned psychologists and experts in cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) offer the most comprehensive manual available to help professionals learn CBT and deliver it to clients for better treatment outcomes. CBT is an evidence-based treatment for several mental health disorders, including anxiety, depression, obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD), post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), and anger problems. This simple, pragmatic guide offers everything you need to know about CBT: what it is, how it works, and how to implement it in session. This fully revised and updated second edition of CBT Made Simple provides a user-friendly, practical approach to learning CBT using up-to-the-minute teaching methods and learning tools—in particular, the “effective adult learning model,” which promotes interactive learning, experiential learning, and self-reflection. Each chapter presents key elements of CBT in clear, accessible language, and includes client dialogues and clinical examples. Practical exercises are incorporated throughout, enabling you to practice and consolidate your learning. In addition, each chapter mimics the structure of an actual CBT session. This new edition also includes the core components of CBT—core beliefs, intermediate beliefs, and behavioral experiments—to make this the most comprehensive CBT manual you’ll find anywhere.

Cowritten with the founders of functional analytic psychotherapy, Functional Analytic Psychotherapy Made Simple offers a practical, behavioral treatment approach focused on client interpersonal relationships and the therapeutic relationship. Functional analytic psychotherapy (FAP) is a research-based treatment for mental health disorders and has been shown to enhance the quality of interpersonal relationships. If you’re a therapist, how you relate to your clients can have a profound impact on treatment outcomes. This book integrates the latest research on the importance of the therapist-client relationship with the new science of social connection into a user-friendly, flexible clinical framework. In this book, you’ll find an introduction to the conceptual foundations and clinical practice of FAP, with an emphasis on practical clinical scenarios and personal reflection. You’ll learn the theoretical basis of FAP in contextual behavioral science and how to apply functional analysis—the core assessment method of behavior therapy—to the therapeutic relationship. You’ll learn to understand the therapeutic relationship and social connection in terms of the Awareness, Courage, and Love model. You’ll also learn how to balance authenticity and compassion with strategy and case conceptualization to make your therapeutic relationships more compassionate, flexible, and effective. And finally, you’ll discover how to apply principles to effectively cope with challenging moments in the therapeutic relationships—such as how to address ineffective behavior happening in the therapy interaction from the first moment of therapy, what to do when therapy does not seem to be progressing, and how to end therapy well. No matter your treatment background, this book will provide invaluable strategies for adopting functional analytic psychotherapy in your practice, enhancing relationships with your clients, and improving overall treatment outcomes.

Based on over twenty years of research, radically open dialectical behavior therapy (RO DBT) is a breakthrough, transdiagnostic approach for helping people suffering from extremely difficult-to-treat emotional overcontrol (OC) disorders, such as anorexia nervosa, obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD), and treatment-resistant depression. Written by the founder of RO DBT, Thomas Lynch, this comprehensive volume outlines the core theories of RO DBT, and provides a framework for implementing RO DBT in individual therapy. While traditional dialectical behavioral therapy (DBT) has shown tremendous success in treating people with emotion dysregulation, there have been few resources available for treating those with overcontrol disorders. OC has been linked to social isolation, aloof and distant relationships, cognitive rigidity, risk aversion, a strong need for structure, inhibited emotional expression, and hyper-perfectionism. And yet—perhaps due to the high value our society places on the capacity to delay gratification and inhibit public displays of destructive emotions and impulses—problems linked with OC have received little attention or been misunderstood. Indeed, people with OC are often considered highly successful by others, even as they suffer silently and alone. RO DBT is based on the premise that psychological well-being involves the confluence of three factors: receptivity, flexibility, and social-connectedness. RO DBT addresses each of these important factors, and is the first treatment in the world to prioritize social-signaling as the primary mechanism of change based on a transdiagnostic, neuroregulatory model linking the communicative function of human emotions to the establishment of social connectedness and well-being. As such, RO DBT is an invaluable resource for treating an array of disorders that center around overcontrol and a lack of social connectedness—such as anorexia nervosa, chronic depression, postpartum depression, treatment-resistant anxiety disorders, autism spectrum disorders, as well as personality disorders such as avoidant, dependent, obsessive-compulsive, and paranoid personality disorder. Written for mental health professionals, professors, or simply those interested in behavioral health, this seminal book—along with its companion, The Skills Training Manual for Radically Open Dialectical Behavior Therapy (available separately)—provides everything you need to understand and implement this exciting new treatment in individual therapy—including theory, history, research, ongoing studies, clinical examples, and future directions.

In "Surviving Trauma: Healing the Child Within," the author takes readers on a deeply personal and courageous journey of self-discovery and recovery. The book opens with a raw and honest reflection on the hesitations and self-doubt that often accompany the idea of sharing one's experiences of trauma, mental health struggles, and personal growth. The author grapples with questions like, "Am I 'cured' enough to tell people I have survived the traumas of my past?" and "Will people label me a hypocrite or a phony?" The narrative unfolds as the author embarks on a profound exploration of their own struggles with PTSD, major depression, addiction, eating disorders, anxiety, homelessness, incarceration, domestic violence, and more. These experiences have been learned the hard way, through pain and suffering. The author dispels the myth that there is a magic solution to life's problems and shares the realization that they will never be perfect, nor will life be without challenges. The heart of this book lies in the belief that one's experiences and the lessons learned from them can be valuable to those who are currently battling their own demons. The author discovers that their own journey, while filled with pain and darkness, can serve as a beacon of hope for others who have endured trauma and its aftermath. Throughout the narrative, the author provides insights and guidance for those who are struggling, offering tools for healing and personal growth. One of the central suggestions the author offers is journaling. They emphasize its importance for several reasons. Firstly, it allows individuals to release overwhelming emotions and thoughts, without concern for grammar or coherence. Journaling serves as a safe space to express the myriad feelings and fears that may be consuming one's mind. Additionally, it provides a means of processing these emotions. When revisiting journal entries later, individuals can identify irrational thoughts and replace them with a more accurate perspective. The act of journaling also serves as a way to track personal progress over time. Readers are encouraged to go back and review earlier entries, allowing them to see how their thinking has evolved and improved. By doing this, the author demonstrates how their own journals from previous years were much more negative and self-defeating, illustrating the power of self-reflection and growth. Lastly, journaling can reveal patterns and triggers that may not have been consciously recognized. The author shares a personal example of discovering that anxiety attacks correlated with the week before their menstrual cycle. Such revelations can help readers better understand the factors that contribute to their emotional well-being. Each chapter concludes with a healing journaling exercise, providing readers with practical tools to aid in their own healing journey. The author strongly encourages journaling as a daily practice, or as a resource to turn to during moments of overwhelming depression or anxiety. Through heartfelt and candid storytelling, this book offers hope and inspiration to those grappling with trauma and mental health challenges, reminding them that they are not alone in their struggles and that healing is possible.
