“DBT can be a seemingly overwhelming set of tasks. The Dialectical
Behavior Therapy Skills Card Deck offers prompts to the many
essential components of DBT that increase effective coping
behaviors, such as self-compassion, assertiveness, prompting a
values-based life, and increasing effective problem-solving skills.
It is thus an excellent tool to increase healthy behaviors and
decrease unhealthy behaviors.”
—Thomas Marra, PhD, emeritus clinical director of Monterey
Psychiatric Health Facility, and author of Depressed and Anxious
and Dialectical Behavior Therapy in Private Practice
*Thomas Marra, PhD*
“Building on their best-selling The Dialectical Behavior Therapy
Skills Workbook, McKay and Wood have developed this set of cards
that can serve as a useful reminder for clients who have already
learned the DBT skills. A clear, concise reminder of the skill and
then suggestion for practice, these cards will help people to
generalize their skills practice, increasing ability to manage
emotions and get problem behaviors under control. What a wonderful
tool for clients and clinicians to add to their toolbox!”
—Sheri Van Dijk, MSW, psychotherapist, international speaker, and
author of several DBT books, including Don’t Let Your Emotions Run
Your Life for Teens and Calming the Emotional Storm

“This cutting-edge resource is a much-needed addition to the
clinical compendium of any therapist seeking to help clients
develop effective and readily accessible coping skills, regardless
of presenting problems. Organized into the four core DBT skills
modules, the cards offer clear, concise, and easy-to-learn steps
and motivational prompts to help individuals overcome roadblocks
and improve their mindfulness, distress tolerance, emotion
regulation, and interpersonal effectiveness capabilities. Whether
used as an accessory to the authors’ The Dialectical Behavior
Therapy Skills Workbook, as a transdiagnostic therapeutic
intervention, or as a stand-alone guide to self-improvement, The
Dialectical Behavior Therapy Skills Card Deck will
revolutionize traditional approaches to treating emotion
dysregulation and a myriad of associated problems.”

“What a great idea for increasing commitment to and competency with
DBT skills! These cards will be used by individuals in DBT,
skills-group leaders, and therapists alike. The cards can be used
as daily reminders for skills practice, as opportunities to select
a skill when distressed, and as reminders of the power of DBT. I am
excited to integrate this creative new tool into my DBT work.”
