From Chaos To Freedom 4 Set DVDs

DBT remains the only psycho social treatment for Borderline Personality Disorder with scientific data gathered from numerous studies. In this series of DBT skills training videos, Marsha Linehan, the developer of DBT, guides practitioners and clients alike through essential DBT skills.

All four videos in the From Chaos to Freedom series go well beyond Linehan’s (1993) Skills Training Manual for Borderline Personality Disorder to incorporate her latest ideas for how to apply these skills and solutions to common barriers. Filled with humor, personal stories, exercises, and demonstrations, Linehan guides her viewer through step-by-step instructions in skill application. While developed for use by clients as a therapy adjunct, many treatment providers have used these skills to learn the skills themselves, train new staff, and get new teaching examples and stories for use with their clients.

These videos were made through funding from NIMH with extensive input and critique from former DBT consumers.

About The Author:

Marsha Linehan, Ph.D., ABPP, is a Professor of Psychology and adjunct Professor of Psychiatry and Behavioral Sciences at the University of Washington in Seattle and is Director of the Behavioral Research and Therapy Clinics, a research consortium that develops and evaluates treatments for multi-diagnostic, severely disordered, and suicidal populations. Her primary research is in the application of behavioral models to suicidal behaviors, drug abuse, and borderline personality disorder. She is also working to develop effective models for transferring science-based treatments to the clinical community.

She is the developer of Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), a treatment originally developed for the treatment of suicidal behaviors and since expanded to treatment of borderline personality disorder and other severe and complex mental disorders involving serious emotion disregulation. In comparison to all other clinical interventions for suicidal behaviors, DBT is the only treatment that has been shown effective in multiple trials across numerous independent research studies. DBT is effective at reducing suicidal behavior and is cost-effective in comparison to both standard treatment and community treatments delivered by expert therapists. It is currently the gold-standard treatment for borderline personality disorder and has demonstrated utility in the treatment of high substance abuse and eating disorders.
