This is the first comprehensive guide to phone coaching in dialectical behavior therapy (DBT) - an integral part of treatment that many clinicians find challenging.

  • What are the principles and goals of phone coaching?
  • What limits should be set?
  • How can a therapist manage suicide risk during a brief call?

DBT expert Alexander Chapman addresses these and other critical practical questions in this accessible book. He provides guidelines for coaching core DBT distress tolerance and emotion regulation skills; coaching do's and don'ts, and tips for structuring each call's beginning, middle, and end. Featuring many concrete examples, strategies, and model dialogues, the book includes a key chapter on suicide crisis calls.
