One of the most influential books for me

I read my supervisor's copy while working nights at a crisis center. I was new the to field then. Using what I learned from this book, I learned to like working with persons who had Borderline Personality Disorder. I was surprised to hear another supervisor say, "Borderline is a diagnosis for people we don't like." I bought my copy more than ten years ago and I still refer to it from time to time.

The Text for treatment of BPD

What can I say? If you're going to learn Dialectical Behavioral Therapy for BPD- you have to have this text. You should also buy the Skills Manual since there are references to it.
I've used some of these skills/techniques with patients who have some of these traits but not BPD - there are great strategies for Behavior Analysis and determining intervention strategies, not to mention validation techniques.
On the other hand - if you are going to treat BPD - make sure to also have a clinical supervisor - it's a very complex population. There are actually on-line courses at Behavioral Tech (Marsha Linehan's Institute) where you can learn on an interactive site, as well.

Great

This book realy helps incrase one's empathy to those with BPD. It is a defining text. On the other hand, gosh, it could do with some editing. I am surprised that another, smaller less-repetivie edition has not been released.

One observation. ML recons that people with BPD do not lie. Well, that's ML lying, or making a mistake.

One question. ML calls people "patients", rather than "clients". I wonder if that is her taking her own advice and doing what works rather than doing what is right?

Brilliant

Dr. Marsha Linehan is clearly an expert and presents her treatment for a very complicated and dynamic disorder in this well-written, well-supported book. Organized, clear, and direct, this text provides clinicians with fantastic information and guidance in treating this troubled population.

Essential

This is one of the most helpful book y never read about psychoterapy (of course the better I know about treating borderline personality disorder). Its style and its simple and common sense contents are one of its strengths. Essential.

University of Washington. Diagnosis and Treatment of Mental Disorders Series. Text for clinical psychologists or psychiatrists giving an overview of borderline personality disorder and presenting the author's preferred form of treatment, dialectical behavior therapy (DBT).
