The Dialectical Behavior Therapy Skills Card Deck

"DBT can be a seemingly overwhelming set of tasks. The Dialectical Behavior Therapy Skills Card Deck offers prompts to the many essential components of DBT that increase effective coping behaviors, such as self-compassion, assertiveness, prompting a values-based life, and increasing effective problem-solving skills. It is thus an excellent tool to increase healthy behaviors and decrease unhealthy behaviors."—Thomas Marra, PhD, emeritus clinical director of Monterey Psychiatric Health Facility, and author of Depressed and Anxious and Dialectical Behavior Therapy in Private Practice * Thomas Marra, PhD, emeritus clinical director of Monterey Psychiatric Health Facility, and author of Depressed and Anxious and Dialectical Behavior Therapy in Private Practice *
