“There is a wealth of information that defines DBT for adolescents and explains what it addresses….The sessions are laid out in an organized manner with suggestions about where leaders should jump in.”
—School Social Work Journal (on the first edition)
“The book is comprehensive, very inclusive, and carefully detailed….This text could clearly be used in any graduate psychology training program, social work training program, or psychiatric residency where DBT skills are taught and where students can participate in an ongoing DBT treatment program.”
—Child and Family Behavior Therapy (on the first edition)
“The first edition of DBT Skills Manual for Adolescents was eagerly anticipated and went on to transform treatment delivery across the globe….The precision and accessibility that characterized the first edition are retained and enhanced, with the addition of new skills and contemporary, highly relevant examples....[The authors] are deeply committed to improving the lives of the adolescents and families they serve and, through their teaching, the many practitioners who will use this manual. Their work reflects both fidelity to the principles of DBT and creativity in its application.”
—from the Foreword by Michaela A. Swales, PhD, Professor and Program Director, North Wales Clinical Psychology Program, Bangor University, United Kingdom
“I have been eagerly awaiting this second edition, and it was well worth the wait. As Marsha Linehan has said, Rathus and Miller are the experts in DBT for adolescents, and their expertise shines through on every page. Drawing on decades of experience developing, implementing, and teaching DBT-A around the world, Rathus and Miller have created an indispensable resource that is both evidence based and immediately practical. The thoroughly updated Manual equips clinicians with the knowledge, structure, and clinical wisdom needed to deliver DBT-A skills with fidelity, and the Workbook equips clients with the tools they need. Together, these volumes are indispensable for trainees, seasoned clinicians, and anyone committed to providing high-quality DBT-A.”
