Review “This excellent workbook makes a valuable contribution to the psychosocial treatment for people with psychosis. Writing in a clear, engaging style, Mullen shows how core dialectical behavior therapy (DBT) skills can be used to reduce symptoms associated with disorders on the psychotic spectrum, build a support network, and improve quality of life. The case examples make the book highly accessible to all. I recommend this workbook for patients, families, and therapists.” —Cedar R. Koons, LCSW, DBT consultant, mindfulness teacher, and author of The Mindfulness Solution for Intense Emotions “The experience of psychosis can be traumatizing, often resulting in individuals not only struggling to get back on their feet, but also fearing the next episode and what this might mean for their future. Mullen has done a fantastic job at providing a validating and informative book that will help people not just survive after experiencing psychosis, but learn to thrive once more. This is a much-needed tool for clients experiencing psychosis, as well as for caregivers and therapists working with this population.” —Sheri Van Dijk, MSW, psychotherapist; international speaker; and author of several DBT books, including The DBT Skills Workbook for Teen Self-Harm “This user-friendly workbook offers essential skills that help people learn how to manage symptoms of psychosis and build a life worth living. The material is offered with warmth, compassion, and understanding. The years of experience Maggie Mullen has had working with people who experience psychosis, and Mullen’s fondness for them, permeates the book. I strongly recommend it to people who experience these symptoms and to their loved ones.” —Rebecca Woolis, LMFT, author of When Someone You Love Has a Mental Illness, over thirty years’ experience as program director of community mental health programs for people with psychosis and their families, and therapist in private practice “As a fellow DBT therapist, author, and trainer, I am always on the lookout for simple, practical, and effective ways of making DBT skills usable for the lay reader. In this resource, you will find just that! Maggie Mullen does an amazing job of applying the classic DBT skills of mindfulness, distress tolerance, emotion regulation, and interpersonal effectiveness to the symptoms of psychosis and psychotic disorders.
