DBT Skills Training Handouts and Worksheets, Revised Edition: Preface to the Korean Edition by Yong Cho, PhD
I know well, and have not forgotten, that what Dr. Linehan truly hopes for is that all people around the world who suffer from emotional pain may begin a new life through DBT.
Just as the author expresses gratitude in the acknowledgments of the revised edition to the teacher who taught her “how to let go of language,” what matters in DBT is not the name or terminology itself.
What matters is letting go of the frame of dichotomous language and using language as a means to reach clients effectively and provide treatment.

This revised edition has been carefully updated based on decades of accumulated DBT clinical experience, research, and language that has been tested and refined in actual treatment settings.
