Yolanda Lepley (Seattle Washington)
This manual is not for the faint of heart that want a magic instant cure of a mental illness. It is a terrific manual for the person that is willing to work at overcoming poor emotional responses, learn mindfulness and improve personal relationships. I have found the information, work sheets and practices helpful in learning better coping skills therefore making my life less stressful.

Helpful for getting inside the borderline personality disorder.
This book is however, not for everyone and a bit pricy at that.
Skills Training Manual for Treating Borderline Personality Disorder October 12, 2008
Man Guy Cheung (Toronto, Canada)
An excellent companion manual to the textbook "Cognitive-Behavioral Treatment of Borderline Personality Disorder", Dr. Linehan brilliantly outlines the skills that all DBT Skills Trainers need to steer their clients towards: Mindfulness, Emotion Regulation, Interpersonal Effectiveness, Distress Tolerance, and the concept of Radical Acceptance is worth mentioning as well. Detailed strategies for the DBT therapist or skills trainer to deal with life-threatening and therapy-interfering behaviors of the client are precious concepts for the skills trainer to have and can go a long way towards preventing therapist burnout.

I'm a Mental Health Counselor whose copy of this book is well worn. I recommend this book for anyone who is considering doing skills training for persons with problems in the following areas:
1) Problems related to control of attention. This could include anything from difficulty concentrating to dissociative behavior.
2) Problems with balance in relationships. Usually this involves teaching clients how to get other people to take them seriously. It can also involve teaching clients how to consider other people's needs in relationships. Often it's both.
3) Problems with severe painful emotions.
4) Problems with impulse control.
Many clients decide to get their own copy. This is like getting every student in the class the teacher's version of the text book. Much of the material in book addresses therapist problems rather than client problems. I don't recommend this book for clients unless they have the interest to study where their therapist is coming from. There's no harm in it, but for most clients they would be better off with self-help materials written with client interests in mind.
