Many DBT clients suffer from posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD), but until now the field has lacked a formal, tested protocol for exactly when and how to treat trauma within DBT. Combining the power of two leading evidence-based therapies—and designed to meet the needs of high-risk, severely impaired clients—this ground-breaking manual integrates DBT with an adapted version of prolonged exposure (PE) therapy for PTSD. Melanie S. Harned shows how to implement the DBT PE protocol with DBT clients who have achieved the safety and stability needed to engage in trauma-focused treatment. In a convenient large-size format, the book includes session-by-session guidelines, rich case examples, clinical tips, and 35 reproducible handouts and forms that can be downloaded and printed for repeated use.

Review:

“A well-organized, pragmatic, and user-friendly clinical handbook that takes the reader step by step from pre-treatment considerations to post-treatment next steps, providing detailed descriptions of each stage of treatment delivery. Treatment components, which clearly derive from evidence-based principles, are thoroughly explained, well supported, and practically illustrated with realistic clinical examples….This book is a useful clinical manual for psychotherapists who work with high-risk clients suffering from severe co-occurring emotion regulation and PTSD-related difficulties….The manual is engaging, encouraging, easy to understand, and solidly rooted in a strong evidence base. This manual will be found useful and appropriate for seasoned masters- and PhD-level clinicians, as well as graduate student trainees, who possess both interest in and familiarity with the sometimes challenging-to-treat population of clients with co-occurring emotion/behavioural dysregulation and PTSD.” – Journal of Contemporary Psychotherapy
