This professional edition includes both the Instant Help book and a companion CD that offers the complete book and printable worksheets for your clients.

From an adult perspective it may seem like a rite of passage, but for a preteen or adolescent girl it can seem like the end of the world. We’re talking about being shunned by the ‘in crowd’ and banished to the outskirts of a clique. To make it worse, the Internet and other new technologies have opened up a whole new venue for bullying. Coping with Cliques helps girls overcome feelings of isolation and rejection and develop the self-esteem that will make being left out of a clique seem not so tragic after all. It gives them practical skills for dealing with cyber- and real-life bullying, and shows them how to keep bullying, put-downs, and gossip from poisoning their sense of self. This book is appropriate for kids between the ages of six and twelve.

Since its first publication in 1980, The Relaxation and Stress Reduction Workbook has become the most indispensable resource for effective and up-to-date techniques for relaxing the body, calming the mind, and refreshing the spirit. Therapists recommend the book to their clients; readers pass it on to their friends. More than half a million copies have helped millions of people just like you take the edge off their stressful lives and find the peace they need to foster happiness and success.

The overwhelming popularity of this book is the result of its comprehensive yet simple and straightforward adaptation of all the most effective relaxation techniques. No other book offers easy-to-use, step-by-step instructions for using progressive relaxation, autogenics, self-hypnosis, visualization, thought stopping, worry control and the list goes on. If it means relaxation, it’s in this book.

“An exemplary book on stress; it is lucidly written, it is rationally ordered, it is comprehensive, and each section is densely packed with instructions and exercises which make the workbook easy to practice.”
-Somatics Magazine The Journal of the Bodily Arts and Sciences

“It is relaxing just to read this book, and to know so many techniques are at hand in one place…one of the most complete and intelligent compilations I’ve seen.”
-Dr. Harold Greenwald, author of “Direct Decision Therapy”

“An excellent resource for putting together your own tailor-made approach to dealing with stress.” -Medical Self-Care

“A delightful documentation of some of the important work done in the field of stress reduction. It should have wide appeal for workers in this area.”
-Dr. Thomas Holmes, originator of the widely used “Schedule of Recent Experience”

“A highly usable tool because of its pen and paper exercises, descriptions of relaxation techniques, and discussions of lifestyle management.”
-Canadian Journal of Occupational Therapy

“Regarded by many professionals as the definitive work pertaining to stress…the authors have carefully crafted, tested, and proven a system that works.”
-Hypnotherapy Today

“If you are shopping for the best stress management techniques and strategies available, The Relaxation & Stress Reduction Workbook is like a well-stocked supermarket. If you don’t resonate with one technique, just turn the page. You are sure to find some that work for you…. The Relaxation & Stress Reduction Workbook is the best practical guide to stress management.”
-The Mental Medicine Update: The Mind/Body Medicine Newsletter

“The authors have contributed their expertise and teaching experience to offer us an impressive documentation of techniques in stress reduction. The writing in this workbook is crystal clear…I highly recommend this workbook to the practitioner as well as the lay public as a source of self-help.”
-Dr. Maurice Kouguell, certified clinical hypnotherapistAlthough the sheer size of this dense workbook might cause initial hyperventilation–280 full-size sheets of text–take heart (and a deep breath!): the many self-assessment tools and calming techniques presented in this fifth edition can help overcome anxiety and promote physical and emotional well-being. First introduced in 1980, the book received praise for presenting a comprehensive look at stress, its physical manifestations, and the multiple ways it can be managed. Twenty years later, its well-organized chapters on breathing, relaxation, meditation, thought stopping, and body awareness still guide the reader through copious self-help techniques to try and, eventually, master. Other chapters, including job stress management, goal setting and time management, and assertiveness training, focus on daily scenarios people often find distressing. Lessons in identifying key elements that trigger unpleasant responses and in reacting differently to these elements are designed to defuse perceived conflicts. For this edition, coauthors Martha Davis (psychologist in the Department of Psychiatry of Kaiser Permanente Medical Center, Santa Clara, CA), Elizabeth Robbins Eshelman (licensed clinical social worker with Kaiser Permanente Online), and Matthew McKay (clinical director of Haight-Ashbury Psychological Services, San Francisco, CA) have added topics on worry control, anger management, and eye-movement therapy. New diagrams and a more reader-friendly format should appeal to readers, despite a few typos and graphical mishaps. This is a valuable tool for therapists, their patients, and the stressed-at-large. –Liane Thomas

Children pay close attention to their parents’ moods. When parents feel upset, their kids may become anxious, and when parents wind down, children also get the chance to relax. When you feel overwhelmed and stressed, it can be hard to help your child feel balanced. The Relaxation & Stress Reduction Workbook for Kids, written by two child therapists, offers more than fifty activities you can do together as a family to help you and your child replace stressful and anxious feelings with feelings of optimism, confidence, and joy.

You’ll learn proven relaxation techniques, including deep breathing, guided imagery, mindfulness, and yoga, and then receive guidance for teaching them to your child. Your child will also discover how taking time to do art and creative projects can create a sense of fulfillment and calm. By completing just one ten-minute activity from this workbook each day, you’ll make relaxation a family habit that will stay with both you and your child for a lifetime.

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.

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.
