Building a Life Worth Living

Product Information

I was there to tell the story of how, more than two decades earlier, I had developed a type of behavioral treatment for highly suicidal people, known as Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT for short). a patient once asked Marsha Linehan, the world-renowned psychologist who developed Dialectical Behaviour Therapy. This was an interesting look at how DBT came to be and I wished I could have read more about her experiences with patients, however, large parts of the book were too dull for me to read. Marsha Linehan is a genius and her DBT has helped thousands of people live lives “worth living,” but this book is not well written and sheds little light on her life (especially if you are already familiar with DBT).

It's like looking at the night sky in the city, where you see points of light from planets and stars here and there, but mostly it is unbroken blackness.

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. Throughout her extraordinary scientific career, Marsha Linehan remained a woman of deep spirituality. Recommended for those who are interested in mental health, emotion regulation/dysregulation, and/or clinical science! Linehan is a truly heroic figure, someone who encountered enormous obstacles, including her own mental health problems, and yet never gave up and went on to pioneer an unorthodox and revolutionary treatment for some of therapy's most difficult-to-treat patients.Mental health advocates for a long time has been advocating for a change to the term "died by suicide" to combat the stigma around suicide and I sort of assumed that Marsha would know this given the population she works with. The truth is that most psychotherapists of all disciplines graduate and get licensed without ever having received the kind of training and supervision that is required to produce a competent therapist. It has been shown both effective in reducing suicidal behavior and cost-effective in comparison to both standard treatment and community treatments delivered by expert therapists. It’s knowing that maybe I will have depression or sadness, but that doesn’t mean there aren’t pleasurable things in my life, or that it won’t end. Marsha survived the kind of descent into hell that is characteristic of these patients, but/and she found her way out and vowed to use her life to help bring others out of that same hell.
