However, the breadth and depth of this material can be challenging to digest. In his third edition of The Expanded DBT Skills Training Manual , Dr. Lane Pederson presents a comprehensive yet practical approach to implementing this life-changing material. In addition to providing rich material for therapists, the book is full of tips and handouts for clients or anyone looking to intentionally work through challenges and create a life worth living. Highly recommended!” — Richard Sears, PsyD, author of  ACT with Anxiety and Mindfulness: Living Through Challenges and Enriching Your Life in This Moment “The third edition of The Expanded DBT Skills Training Manual delivers exceptional clinical value through its thoughtfully reorganized structure. The new Therapist Guide section paired with a comprehensive Skills Training Curriculum makes this resource immediately applicable in diverse treatment settings. As a clinician, I particularly appreciate the inclusion of dialectics as a foundational module and the addition of addiction-focused content alongside traditional DBT skills. Pederson’s clear writing style, enhanced with concise bullet points and practical examples, makes complex therapeutic concepts accessible for practitioners at all experience levels. This manual represents a significant contribution to the field of trauma-informed care and emotional regulation.” — Linda A. Curran, BCPC, LPC, CAADC, CCDPD, author of 101 Trauma-Informed Interventions “Unencumbered by tedious theoretical pontifications or referenced-to-death prose and written in a practical, down-to-earth style by an experienced clinician and trainer, The Expanded DBT Skills Training Manual provides much more that just a comprehensive account of DBT for any level of practitioner. Dr. Pederson has truly accomplished an all-in-one resource that immerses the reader in a between-the-lines understanding of DBT, enabling a thorough understanding and successful implementation at the therapist and program levels.” — Barry L. Duncan, PsyD, CEO of Better Outcomes Now (betteroutcomesnow.com) “Dr. Lane Pederson has long been recognized as the future of DBT—bringing a practical, evidence-based approach that moves beyond rigid, one-size-fits-all models.
