Interactive skills training for borderline patients

Interactive skills training for borderline patients

The software for those affected - Keycard for the download version - Accredited by the German umbrella organization DBT

Description

• How can I end states of high inner tension without hurting myself? How can I tone down my strong emotions? What can I do to improve my difficult relationships? And how can I make a truce with myself, at least temporarily?

• Most people with emotion regulation disorders, not just borderline patients, urgently need answers to these and similar questions. This training program enables competent and easily implementable help for self-help.

• The interactive software offers easy-to-understand access to background knowledge and numerous elements that allow skills to be learned in a fun way and implemented sustainably. These include practical exercises, questions with the option to check, skills week protocols, a virtual emergency kit and handouts that can be used directly and printed out. Black humorous cartoons by Renate Alf lighten the mood and clarify the key statements and training elements in a relieving way.

• The updated 2nd edition of this software has been optimized and supplemented with new worksheets and information sheets.

• The skills training was designed by M. Linehan as part of dialectical behavior therapy (DBT) for patients with borderline personality disorder. M. Bohus and M. Wolf-Arehult developed the content further in close cooperation with M. Linehan and expanded the therapeutic spectrum. This means that the program can be used effectively for all disorders of emotion regulation, in addition to borderline personality disorders.

• The training program is primarily aimed directly at those affected. It can be used as part of a therapeutically led skills group, for self-study or for working together in self-help groups. However, it is also an indispensable tool for psychotherapists and can be used effectively in both individual and group therapy.

• Note on the keycard: The keycard was developed in response to frequent customer requests because more and more institutes, clinics and facilities no longer have CD drives and laptops are also increasingly no longer containing CD drives.

• System requirements: Windows (Microsoft® Windows® XP with Service Pack 2, Windows Vista® with Service Pack 1, Windows 7, 512 MB RAM, or Windows 8) and Macintosh (Intel Core Duo, Mac OS X v10.7, v10.8 or v10.9, 512 MB RAM).
