520    Keep calm, be skillful -- and take control! Dialectical 
       Behavior Therapy (DBT) is one of the most popular and most
       effective treatments for mental health conditions that 
       result from out-of-control emotions. Combining elements of
       Cognitive Behavior Therapy with Eastern mindfulness 
       practice, DBT was initially used as a powerful treatment 
       to address the suffering associated with borderline 
       personality disorder. It has since proven to have positive
       effects on many other mental health conditions and is 
       frequently found in non-clinical settings, such as 
       schools. Whether you struggle with depression, anger, 
       phobias, disordered eating, or want to have a better 
       understanding of emotions and how to focus and calm your 
       mind, DBT practice serves the needs of those facing 
       anything from regular life challenges to severe 
       psychological distress. Written in a no-jargon, friendly 
       style by two of Harvard Medical School's finest, DBT For 
       Dummies shows how DBT can teach new ways not just to 
       reverse, but to actively take control of self-destructive 
       behaviors and negative thought patterns, allowing you to 
       transform a life of struggle into one full of promise and 
       meaning. Used properly and persistently, the skills and 
       strategies in this book will change your life: when you 
       can better regulate emotions, interact effectively with 
       people, deal with stressful situations, and use 
       mindfulness on a daily basis, it's easier to appreciate 
       what's good in yourself and the world, and then act 
       accordingly. In reading this book, you will: Understand 
       DBT theory; Learn more adaptive ways to control your 
       emotions; Improve the quality of your relationships; Deal 
       better with uncertainty. Many of life's problems are not 
       insurmountable even if they appear to be. Life can get 
       better, if you are willing to live it differently. Get DBT
       For Dummies and discover the proven methods that will let 
       you take back control -- and build a brighter, more 
       capable, and promising future! -- Publisher's description.
