|A Quick, Helpful Read,
What readers will truly appreciate about this work is the tone that it takes. A lot of books on subjects such as this can come across as “preachy” with a list of to-dos for when anxiety strikes. The author of this book, however, not only acknowledges that there are many different ways that people deal with their anxiety, but provides more holistic measures in a more suggestive instead of prescriptive tone. The book was easy to read, flowed well and had some good pointers. There is even a workbook at the end if you want to try out some of the things she discusses! Overall, this is a useful resource for those who suffer from anxiety.

|Excellent and Helpful. I just wish it had more examples.,
A couple people have complained that the book has dense terminology and isn’t accessible to average people. I’ve only had a semester of community college and have never worked in the psychiatric field and I have no trouble understanding this book. I think it’s worth a try for anyone with these feelings.

|A hammer looking for a nail…,
I find that DBT falls short of dealing with the kind of issues that I face, being age 83 and widowed for 31 years, and sans all my friends, relatives and peers who have died or moved to assisted living, leaving me with the prospect of disability, humiliation, and social isolation plus diagnosed major depression with general anxiety disorder. The book barely mentions the need for medication in some cases, but does little beyond cognitive and behavioral changes which fall way short of my need, i.e., the existential consequences of aging and grief. Some things that are broken cannot be fixed…that is why there are cemeteries and junk yards. It seems to me that professional psychologists must find something to publish or perish and this is just one more such work that soon will be replaced with some other attempt to put Humpty Dumpty back together again.
