The creative arts are a powerful tool for therapists who want to provide effective therapy experiences for their clients. The magic of the arts touches the spirit and promotes a level of communication that is different from everyday life. The person running these groups must play many roles: facilitator, teacher, artist and therapist. It is a journey of discovery and wonder. You will learn why the creative arts are an important element in therapy, what it means to be creative, what enhances creativity and what hinders it, how creative arts groups interact to promote discovery of self and others and how to run effective groups from the initial planning to closure for a group that is ending. The second part of the book describes the creative arts, giving you specific information about visual and tactile arts, drama therapy, theater games and improvisations, clowning, music, dance/movement, movement exploration, meditation and creative visualization. Along with the d! escriptions, there are over 240 activity ideas for you to use.

A powerful new therapeutic approach, dialectical behaviour therapy (DBT), has proven to be the most effective treatment for the mood swings and impulsive behaviour symptomatic of borderline personality disorder. This is the first book to apply DBT treatment to bipolar disorder, a chronic, complex mental illness that has much in common with borderline personality disorder. It presents a complete programme for the treatment of bipolar disorder that shows readers how to manage painful emotions, handle suicidal and self-harming behaviour, control impulsive and mood-dependent behaviours, and learn positive and healthy coping techniques such as mindfulness, distracting skills, and self-soothing skills. The workbook stresses the importance of radical acceptance, which, in the case of bipolar disorder, is the knowledge and acceptance of the fact that readers may not be able to live the lives they had envisioned because of the disorder.

This first-of-its-kind manual provides an effective, integrated treatment approach for working with clients stru ggling with bulimia nervosa in today’s managed care environment. The author presents a detailed range of “dosage” treatment plans – from 1- 2 sessions to over a hundred sessions – to deal with the varied manife stations of this disorder. He also outlines an empirically based, yet quick and effective clinical screening protocol that plans treatment in a way that both patients and care managers can understand. The aut hor focuses on building coping skills, and throughout he draws on inte rpersonal, coping, stage of change, trauma, and development theory to fully explain the rationale, methods, and complexities of his empirica lly-based approach.

First developed for treating borderline personality disorder, dialectical behavior therapy (DBT) has proven effective as treatment for a range of other mental health problems, especially for those characterized by overwhelming emotions. Research shows that DBT can improve your ability to handle distress without losing control and acting destructively. In order to make use of these techniques, you need to build skills in four key areas–distress tolerance, mindfulness, emotion regulation, and interpersonal effectiveness.

This book, a collaborative effort from three esteemed authors, offers straightforward, step-by-step exercises for learning these concepts and putting them to work for real and lasting change. Start by working on the introductory exercises and, after making progress, move on to the advanced-skills chapters. Whether you are a professional or a general reader, whether you use this book to support work done in therapy or as the basis for self-help, you’ll benefit from this clear and practical guide to better managing your emotions.

The individual struggling with overwhelming emotions and DBT therapists will benefit significantly from this workbook. McKay, Wood and Brantley have expanded and translated DBT Skills, making Linehan’s iconic work on emotional skill building even more accessible and easy to apply to everyday life.
