Don't Let Your Emotions Run Your Life: How Dialectical Behavior Therapy Can Put You in Control (New Harbinger Self-Help Workbook) Review
Source: Product DescriptionDialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) is a therapeutic technique designed to counter extreme emotional reactions — before they lead to overwhelming anger, depression, anxiety, and stress-related ailments. An eclectic mix of cognitive-behavioral techniques, skills training, Zen, and existentialism, DBT helps readers pay attention to their emotions, assess their blocks to controlling them, become less judgmental of themselves when they lose control, and ultimately eliminate overpowering feelings. Worksheets and assessment exercises round out this breakthrough program.

1 Person found this review helpful, Ordered For A Friend
I ordered this book to help a friend through a "mid-life" crisis. He is apprehensive to seek counseling, so I thought that this book might be a good supplement and indeed it has been beneficial. He strongly recommends purchasing the workbook.

Marsha Linehan's book is far better written and effective. I would buy that book and skip Mr. Spradlin's book completely.
I expected more. More depth. More through explanations. More insightful exercises. Mr Spradlin is a mediocre writer. He lacks clarity and could really use a better editor.
The book read like a watered down version of Ms. Linehans' book.

9 People found this review helpful, Not Worth The $$
I read the first several chapters of the book and felt it fell short of expectations. Fast-forwarding through to the back, I was disappointed further as it took serious psychological situations into a "we can handle this" approach. That is best left to a psychiatrist & counselor. Would not recommend.

10 People found this review helpful, Dialectical Behavior Therapy
Having just been diagnosed with BPD, I have found books such as this very helpful as my husband and I discuss the best way for our family to deal with my sensitivity to emotions and mood changes. My oldest son is also displaying behaviors indicative of BPD and we are looking for help for him, too.

must use w/ the original great--Linehan's DBT skills training workbook. i like these exercises, but you will need to preview before each class and come up w/ a solid tie-in w/ the DBT skills...it just doesn't stand alone in a way that is useful to clients.
