Marsha Linehan tells the story of her journey from suicidal teenager to world-renowned developer of the life-saving behavioral therapy DBT, using her own struggle to develop life skills for others. "This book is a victory on both sides of the page."--Gloria Steinem "Are you one of us?" a patient once asked Marsha Linehan, the world-renowned psychologist who developed Dialectical Behavior Therapy. "Because if you were, it would give all of us so much hope." Over the years, DBT had saved the lives of countless people fighting depression and suicidal thoughts, but Linehan had never revealed that her pioneering work was inspired by her own desperate struggles as a young woman. Only when she received this question did she finally decide to tell her story. In this remarkable and inspiring memoir, Linehan describes how, when she was eighteen years old, she began an abrupt downward spiral from popular teenager to suicidal young woman. After several miserable years in a psychiatric institute, Linehan made a vow that if she could get out of emotional hell, she would try to find a way to help others get out of hell too, and to build a life worth living. She went on to put herself through night school and college, living at a YWCA and often scraping together spare change to buy food. She went on to get her PhD in psychology, specializing in behavior therapy. In the 1980s, she achieved a breakthrough when she developed Dialectical Behavioral Therapy, a therapeutic approach that combines acceptance of the self and ways to change. Linehan included mindfulness as a key component in therapy treatment, along with original and specific life-skill techniques. She says, "You can't think yourself into new ways of acting; you can only act yourself into new ways of thinking." Throughout her extraordinary scientific career, Marsha Linehan remained a woman of deep spirituality. Her powerful and moving story is one of faith and perseverance. Linehan shows, in Building a Life Worth Living, how the principles of DBT really work--and how, using her life skills and techniques, people can build lives worth living.

For the average clinician, individuals with borderline personality disorder (BPD) often represent the most challenging, seemingly insoluble cases.

I Norge har Nasjonalt senter for selvmordsforskning og -forebygging (NSSF) gjennomført kurs i DBT siden 2006. Sentralt i DBT står utvikling av ulike ferdigheter for lettere å mestre livet. I denne boken er ferdighetene delt opp i fem kategorier: generelle ferdigheter, mindfulness-ferdigheter, mellommenneskelige ferdigheter, følelsesreguleringsferdigheter og hold-ut-ferdigheter. Hver del inneholder fakta- og arbeidsark til bruk i terapien. I tillegg til denne samlingen fakta- og arbeidsark, finnes det en egen DBT-manual utgitt av Dansk Psykologisk forlag. Fakta- og arbeidsarkene utgis i Norge av Gyldendal i samarbeid med NSSF.

DAT er en bredt baseret kognitiv adfærdsterapeutisk behandling, der oprindelig er udviklet til kronisk selvmordstruede personer diagnosticeret med emotionelt ustabil personlighedsstruktur (borderline personality disorder, BPD). DAT består af en kombination af individuel psykoterapi, gruppebaseret færdighedstræning, telefoncoaching og et vejledningsteam og var den første form for psykoterapi, der i kontrollerede forsøg viste sig at have effekt for mennesker med BPD. Siden er der gennemført en række kliniske forsøg, som har demonstreret tilgangens effekt, ikke blot for BPD, men også for en lang række andre forstyrrelser og problemer, herunder både følelsesmæssig underkontrol og overkontrol og tilhørende kognitive og adfærdsmæssige mønstre.DAT - Dialektisk Adfærdsterapi. Færdighedstræning består af to bøger: DAT Manual (650 sider) og DAT Kursusark & Arbejdsark (440 sider).Der er fire primære DAT-færdighedstræningsmoduler: Mindfulnessfærdigheder, Relationsfærdigheder, færdigheder i Følelsesregulering samt Hold ud-færdigheder. Inden for disse fire moduler er der tilføjet nye færdigheder, bl.a. et afsnit om at undervise i mindfulness fra forskellige synsvinkler og afsnit om færdigheder i at finde og opbygge de relationer, man ønsker, og at afbryde relationer, man ikke ønsker. De mange kursusinstruktioner, kursusark og arbejdsark - der er blevet brugt i mere end to årtier af tusindvis af terapeuter og klienter over hele verden - har gennemgået en betydelig revision og er blevet udvidet, så de afspejler seneste forskning og kliniske fremskridt. Forfatteren, Marsha M. Linehan, har grundlagt og videreudviklet dialektisk adfærdsterapi (DAT). Hun er professor i psykologi, psykiatri og adfærdsvidenskab samt leder af Behavioral Research and Therapy Clinics ved Washington University. Hun er zen-mester og underviser i mindfulness og kontemplativ praksis for sundhedspersonale.
