Book on DBT training

[LoveOnTheRocks]

Hi All:

I am relatively new here and haven't located a "search box" to get this information. 
I am wanting to know if anyone has a recommendation on a book that teaches or goes over techniques in Dialectical Behavior Therapy.
Thanks in advance of your responses!

Our objective is to better understand the struggles our child faces and to learn the skills to improve our relationship and provide a supportive environment and also improve on our own emotional responses, attitudes and effectiveness as a family leaders

Hi loveontherocks

Welcome to the bpdfamily.

The fisrt book I read was "Walking on Egg shells" by Randi Kreger. There is some great guidance on tjere based on DBT and a really good starting point.  Ive also read "Loving Someone with Boerderline Personality Disorder" by Shari Manning which goes into greater depth of DBT.

I hope you are doing well. It would be great to hear more about your situation and what you are going through. We are all here to suppprt you and there is also a breadth of information on the board.

Are you thinking of doing DBT yourself?
