About this deal

She was often advised not to speak of her incarceration, but to come full circle, she attended the institution where she started off her descent into hell to deliver her speech, entitled ‘The personal story of the development of DBT’. Part of me wanted her to take a bit of a stronger anti-stigma stance, though perhaps she already did her part by sharing her experience.

I was there to tell the story of how, more than two decades earlier, I had developed a type of behavioral treatment for highly suicidal people, known as Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT for short).She says, "You can't think yourself into new ways of acting; you can only act yourself into new ways of thinking.

Everything in Marsha Linehan's life and remarkable memoir uncovers the dark--the hell of the unhappy self and the hell of inadequate help--and brings us into the light, with humor and detail in her grappling and growth, and in her courage and vision of how to create a treatment for even the most unhappy of us. It was a difficult process'­and, more than that, I was about to reveal publicly for the first time extremely intimate details about my life that for decades I had kept a carefully guarded secret, outside of a few very close friends and my family. I was standing in front of an audience of about two hundred in a large auditorium at the Institute of Living, a renowned psychiatric institution in Hartford, Connecticut. In this remarkable and inspiring memoir, Linehan describes how, when she was 18 years old, she began an abrupt downward spiral from popular teenager to suicidal young woman. As someone living with BPD, these experiences are highly unrelatable and also make me wonder whether recovery simply comes down to random mystical experiences.Reading the memoir of the remarkable mind behind dialectical behavioural therapy, one of the most groundbreaking treatment approaches in the history of mental health care, was pretty much as interesting and informative as you might expect.

She has fabulous YouTube clips, some small, some large, and I also have seen her in action lecturing and speaking with academics and students online, because, lucky for me, I work in an academic library.

This means you can effectively regulate intense emotions and reactions without compromising on the quality of life you wish to lead. Overall, I’d recommend this for anyone who has a prior interest in Linehan, but it is unlikely to inspire or enlighten those who have never even heard of DBT.

I was always careful to make sure everyone’s needs were met, that no one was left out of the action. The memoir would have let us pour our tears out and the other would let us understand fully the DBT. As a result of that episode, I had to fight to rebuild my high school education, which required me to go to night school while doing a day job to support myself. You could say it is throwing yourself into the will of God, or into acceptance of the causal factors of the universe. She had to be tireless in this as she was a breakthrough at a time where treatment for these individuals was completely lacking.Maybe it's already obvious, I am a huge fan of Linehan and her therapy teachings, I imagine most people who pick up this book will be. DEAR MAN stands for “describe, express, assert, reinforce, (stay) mindful, appear confident, negotiate.
