Book Reviews of Depressed and Anxious: The Dialectical Behavior Therapy Workbook for Overcoming Depression & Anxiety
Book Review: Too confusing to be of much help
Summary: 2 Stars
I really wanted this book to be good. I was interested in DBT, but couldn't relate to a lot of books on the subject because I don't have borderline personality disorder. So when I saw there was a DBT workbook specifically for people with depression and anxiety, it sounded perfect.
Unfortunately, Depressed & Anxious is not written with the depressed reader in mind. After a good introduction, there's a very long chapter (around 50 pages) on making sense of your problems. There are a lot of questions to answer and in many cases, I did not understand what was being asked or what I was supposed to write. The author introduces some very complex concepts without explaining them clearly. The one thing he does make clear is that you need to complete this chapter before moving on to the self-help chapters.
I tried my best, but when I'm depressed I find it hard to concentrate, and in the end I gave up. There were just too many questions I'd left out or wasn't sure I'd understood, and too many questions still to go before I'd reach anything that might actually help with my symptoms.
I've now found a much better DBT workbook that isn't aimed at a particular diagnosis. It's called The Dialectical Behavior Therapy Skills Workbook by Matthew McKay and I highly recommend it over this book. There are also some great DBT self-help resources available on the internet.
