Congratulations to co-authors Kate Comtois, PhD, and Adam Carmel, PhD for the publication of their new book, DBT Next Steps: Building a Life Worth Living. Developed over the past 20 years by the Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT) clinicians at Harborview Mental Health and Addictions Services and DBT creator Marsha Linehan, PhD, this book expands the DBT model into new skills and specific strategies that can be incorporated into other DBT and CBT programs. This publication includes two books, a clinicians manual and a companion book of skills handouts. From the publisher:
 
DBT Next Steps Clinicians Manual is a groundbreaking expansion of standard DBT for clients who have moved beyond crisis behaviors — yet haven’t achieved their goals in such areas as employment, school, and relationships. Combining skills training with exposure, contingency management, cognitive modification, and didactic strategies, DBT Next Steps fills a gap by systematically targeting quality-of-life-interfering behavior.
 
DBT Next Steps Skills Handouts provides all the handouts and assignments for six brand-new DBT skills modules focused on what comes next in recovery for people who have stabilized in DBT. These essential skills modules fill the gap for the client who is stable yet not living a fulfilling life.
