Re: Borderline personality disorder
@Bpd_89 I got the DBT skills training manual and the treatment manual from the Book Depository. Any of the online stores should have them. Marsha Linehan is the author (and developer of DBT). The skills training manual has all the handouts in it that people get in groups. It also provides all the information that the therapist is supposed to cover in the group. The treatment manual provides a very comprehensive overview of the theoretical framework of DBT. You need to remember that both of the manuals are written for therapists - they aren't actually designed to be a self-help resource. There are lots of other DBT self-help resources out there though. If you just do a search for dialectical behaviour therapy in one of the online bookstores, a bazillion results will come up. I specifically wanted the treatment manual/skills manual because this is the original source. Any self-help books are based on what's in those manuals.
