"As the demand for dialectical behavior therapy increases from our clients, practitioners need to be more informed about its dynamic process and targets. This book provides both the novice and the well-informed clinician with an uncomplicated review of DBT. A must-have for any therapist, whether they are practicing DBT, or referring to others for this type of therapy." --Leanne Garfinkel, MA in clinical psychology and DBT-informed therapist

I "fell" for Sherri Van Dijk (actually for her work) when I plowed my way through (and reviewed) her Dialectical Behavior Therapy Skills Workbook for Bipolar Disorder (2009) a few years ago. I think I wrote then that she seemed to have used Marsha Linehan's system long enough to really wrap her mind around it and be able to boil it down so the rest of us could understand it. I say that because those of us who had to learn from Marsha's own work really had to struggle with all those (then) fresh (and radical) concepts and acronyms she insisted we all use and (try to) teach the patients. Sigh.
Linda Dimeff & Kelly Koerner's Dialectical Behavior Therapy in Clinical Practice (2007) was also helpful, as was Thomas Marra's Dialectical Behavior Therapy in Private Practice (2005), though Marra's book was so heavily weighted to the mindfulness component of DBT (to the relative exclusion of the other four legs below the table top) that it could have passed for something written by Jon Kabat-Zinn, Zindel Segal or Daniel Siegel. More recently, I scoured Lane Pederson's Expanded Dialectical Behavior Therapy Skills Training Manual (2012), which seemed to me to be more faithful to Linehan's precise protocols than Van Dijk's books... perhaps needlessly so, but I'd still recommend it for those who really want to get DBT =down=.
As with her 2009 book, Van Dijk ignores the dense (for some) cognitive-behavioral theories, as well as those hard-to-recall acronyms, in favor of the four main DBT skills groups (mindfulness, distress tolerance, affect regulation and assertion)... though her commentary on the biopsychosocial collection of events that induce neurosis, borderline organization and psychosis on pages 10-13 is one of the most lucid and accessible I've ever encountered.
