Lizbeth Gaona - Böcker

Crafted by skillful DBT experts, this unique guide provides state-of-the-art concepts and strategies for more inclusive, effective practice with socioculturally diverse clients. The authors show how recognition and validation of clients' cultural identities and experiences of marginalization mesh perfectly with DBT principles such as dialectics, humility, beginner’s mind, and a therapeutic relationship between equals. Guidance is provided for understanding and assessing clients' intersecting identities, tailoring the Diary Card and other interventions to overcome sociocultural gaps, and applying diversity concepts in both individual sessions and DBT team. The book also invites clinicians to self-reflect on how their own worldview and assumptions affect their DBT delivery. Helpful features include case illustrations, Clinician Pro Tips, and reproducible/downloadable forms.
