Hi Kath, I was just about to start a thread about working on sections from the DBT skills manual. It was recommended to me by the clinician at the hospital. She said that I'd probably get a lot out of it. Granted, I won't have the opportunity to the the whole group thing and all that, but my T has recommended it to me before and so having a 2nd opinion concur was enough for me to go out and buy the book "cognitive behavioral therapy for borderline personality disorder" and "skills manual for DBT" T recommended it to me because I have a little tolerance for uncertainty. (hmmm)
The descriptions above seem to capture the essence of DBT, as far as I've come to understand it.
