Описание книги

Keep calm, be skillful—and take control!  Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) is one of the most popular—and most effective—treatments for mental health conditions that result from out-of-control emotions. Combining elements of Cognitive Behavior Therapy with Eastern mindfulness practice, DBT was initially used as a powerful treatment to address the suffering associated with borderline personality disorder. It has since proven to have positive effects on many other mental health conditions and is frequently found in non-clinical settings, such as schools. Whether you struggle with depression, anger, phobias, disordered eating, or want to have a better understanding of emotions and how to focus and calm your mind, DBT practice serves the needs of those facing anything from regular life challenges to severe psychological distress.  Written in a no-jargon, friendly style by two of Harvard Medical School’s finest,  DBT For Dummies  shows how DBT can teach new ways not just to reverse, but to actively take control of self-destructive behaviors and negative thought patterns, allowing you to transform a life of struggle into one full of promise and meaning. Used properly and persistently, the skills and strategies in this book will change your life: when you can better regulate emotions, interact effectively with people, deal with stressful situations, and use mindfulness on a daily basis, it’s easier to appreciate what’s good in yourself and the world, and then act accordingly. In reading this book, you will:  Understand DBT theory Learn more adaptive ways to control your emotions Improve the quality of your relationships Deal better with uncertainty Many of life’s problems are not insurmountable even if they appear to be. Life can get better, if you are willing to live it differently. Get  DBT For Dummies  and discover the proven methods that will let you take back control—and build a brighter, more capable, and promising future!

Отрывок из книги

In our professional experience, at no other time have we seen more of a demand for compassionate, effective, and comprehensive mental health care than we did in the strange year of 2020. The mental health toll caused by the isolating impact of the COVID-19 pandemic, the financial uncertainties of the economy, the divisive polarization of social justice causes, and the doubt and suspicions magnified by political extremes has impacted those without mental health issues, significantly impacted those with mental health issues, and even affected mental health practitioners. We are, after all, human beings whose brains respond to stress, strong emotions, and lack of connection.

We all need to take care of ourselves, and we don’t have time to spend years contemplating our lives. The changes you make today will reverberate throughout the rest of your life. Now is the time to start behaving in ways that are consistent with your values and your aspirations. Of course, you need the help of others — even the most powerful of quarterbacks cannot win without a supportive team — but you can also take charge of some of your own self-care. You don’t need the blessing of others to start changing your behaviors, by eating healthier food, exercising more regularly, getting to bed on time, reducing your alcohol intake, and practicing some meditation every day. And then, when you’re a healthier person, you bring a more skillful version of yourself to your life and to the relationships that you care about.

In this mode, patients focus on learning new skills in a classroom-like atmosphere. The skills are then enhanced through practice exercises, as well as generalized to other aspects of the patients’ personal lives by the assignment and review of homework. The specific skills that are taught are the four DBT skills modules: mindfulness, emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness. The modules are typically taught over six weeks, although this can vary, depending on the needs of the patients and how quickly they learn the material. The specific skills are reviewed in depth in Part 3.

In a group meeting, the typical structure is once per week, lasting somewhere between two and two and a half hours. The first hour is devoted to a review of the homework assigned in the previous session, and the second hour is dedicated to the teaching of new skills. Homework is then assigned as the last task of the group.
