The practical book for DBT body skills

Blurb

The body as an effective factor in Dialectical Behavioral Therapy

• Long awaited: There have been hardly any body therapy treatment suggestions for people with borderline problems

• Confirmed effectiveness: Many patients subsequently rate the DBT body modules as one of the strongest effective factors

• Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT) is an emotion-focused and experience-oriented behavior therapy. Emotions are essentially expressed in the body and can be experienced and changed through it. For this reason, it is particularly useful in DBT to integrate the "body as a space of experience" into the treatment of borderline patients.

• The book presents DBT body skills that can be taught in individual or group therapy. The range of topics extends from warm-up exercises to breathing exercises, dealing with closeness and distance, incorporating body language, self-esteem and basic juggling exercises. When embedded in the comprehensive DBT treatment, the main symptoms of borderline personality disorder, such as tension and dissociation phenomena, can be functionally managed through movement and physical activity.

• Martin Bohus and Ilona Brokuslaus made up for what was missing in the original concept of the founder of DBT, Marsha Linehan, and developed a DBT body therapy module. This important DBT building block is now presented in book form for the first time.

• This book is aimed at: psychotherapists, psychiatrists, nurses, social workers, employees of DBT wards and general psychiatric wards; anyone who wants to lead a DBT body skills group; borderline patients
