Radically open dialectical behavior therapy : theory and practice for treating disorders of overcontrol
Thomas R. Lynch (Author)
Based on more than twenty years of research, radically open dialectical behavior therapy (RO DBT) is a breakthrough transdiagnostic approach for helping clients suffering from disorders characterized by excessive self-control or overcontrol (OC), such as anorexia nervosa, chronic depression, and obsessive-compulsive personality disorder (OCPD). As a clinician, you know these disorders are notoriously difficult to treat, and often linked to social isolation, lonliness, cognitive rigidity, risk aversion, compulsive need for structure, inhibited emotional expression, and hyper-perfectionism. RO DBT is based on the premise that psychological well-being involves the confluence of three factors: receptivity, flexibility, and social conectedness. RO DBT addresses each of these, and is the first evidence-based treatment that directly targets social signaling and nonverbal aspects of communication as the primary mechanism of change. Written by the developer of RO DBT, Thomas Lynch, this comprehensive volume provides everything you need to understand and implement this groundbreaking treatment in individual therapy - including theory, research, specific treatment protocols, clinical examples, and future directions
