A manual for the treatment of emotion dysregulation and borderline personality disorder
Authors: Jill H. Rathus, PhD & Alec L. Miller, PsyD
Translator: Yong Cho, PhD
A DBT treatment manual for adolescents and parents struggling with emotion regulation and impulse control difficulties
Adolescent DBT developed at Montefiore Medical Center in New York
DBT for adolescents, clinically applied and refined through the work of Yong Cho, PhD, a psychologist licensed in New York State, and his clinical team
DBT Skills Manual for Adolescents is an invaluable treatment manual that brings together years of research and clinical experience by Dr. Jill H. Rathus and Dr. Alec L. Miller and their team at Montefiore Medical Center in the Bronx, New York, with the support of Marsha M. Linehan, the developer of Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT).
For many years, psychotherapeutic approaches for adolescents struggling with self-destructive behaviors, repeated crises, and impulsive behavioral problems were limited. DBT, developed by Marsha Linehan, brought mindfulness and acceptance into the cognitive behavioral treatment model in a scientifically grounded way, offering new hope to many adolescents and parents who had once been considered difficult to treat.
This book presents a validated treatment approach for adolescents and parents struggling with emotion regulation and impulse control difficulties. Through learning DBT skills, adolescents and parents can reduce emotional escalation, build a more validating family culture, and work together toward symptom reduction and more effective patterns of interaction.
A workbook for emotion dysregulation and borderline personality disorder
Author: Marsha M. Linehan, PhD, ABPP
Translator: Yong Cho, PhD
Learning DBT skills is one of the most effective ways to address emotion regulation and impulse control difficulties.
A DBT workbook created through the lifelong research of Marsha M. Linehan.
Since the original publication of the Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) Skills Training Manual in 1993, research on the application of DBT to a wide range of mental disorders has expanded dramatically.
Early DBT research focused primarily on treating adults at high risk for suicide. Today, growing evidence supports the effectiveness of DBT skills training not only for adults with borderline personality disorder, eating disorders, treatment-resistant depression, substance use problems, and other complex conditions, but also for adolescents experiencing suicidal crises.
This workbook contains the handouts and worksheets needed for learning Dialectical Behavior Therapy skills. Yong Cho, a psychologist licensed in New York State, first adapted the DBT workbook for Korean-speaking clients in 2000 and began applying it in real clinical treatment. Since then, many Korean clients have used the skills in this workbook to experience meaningful symptom reduction and to work through painful emotion regulation difficulties.

Author: Marsha M. Linehan, PhD, ABPP
Translator: Yong Cho, PhD
A Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) manual for professionals.
A therapist manual shaped by Marsha M. Linehan’s lifelong work.
The depth of Dr. Linehan’s commitment and the clinical detail reflected in this manual—developed for those who seek to treat suffering through DBT—are profoundly moving.
DBT Skills Training Manual, Second Edition is the product of Marsha M. Linehan’s clinical experience, research on the application of existing DBT skills, and extensive scientific work on emotion, emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and mindfulness. It also reflects new findings in the social sciences and treatment strategies developed within the cognitive behavioral paradigm.
Although early DBT research focused primarily on treating clients at high risk for suicide, DBT skills training has since been studied across a wide range of populations. Research has demonstrated its effectiveness for eating disorders, treatment-resistant depression, nonsuicidal self-injury, emotion regulation difficulties, interpersonal problems, and alcohol-related problems.

psychotherapy novel
Written by Yong Cho, Songhee Chae, and Eunyoung Choi
Seven stories based on real psychotherapy cases—stories of Posttraumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD), emotion dysregulation, suicidal crises, eating disorders, and other forms of psychological suffering in modern life.
The Seven Rooms
This book is a psychotherapy novel based on real clinical cases from The Tree Group, a psychotherapy clinic. The people who come to The Tree Group for treatment arrive with different life stories, wounds, and forms of suffering. Among many clinical cases, seven representative stories were selected and transformed into fiction so that readers unfamiliar with psychotherapy could more easily understand what the therapeutic process can look like.
Through the lives of seven characters who reflect the struggles of people today, readers are invited into an engaging and moving journey of recovery from Posttraumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD), emotion dysregulation, suicidal crises, eating disorders, and other forms of psychological pain. Alongside The Tree Group, these characters cry, laugh, struggle, and gradually move toward healing.
Through this book, readers can witness how psychological suffering begins, how treatment unfolds, and how a new sense of happiness can emerge. The beginning of psychological pain may be a shocking traumatic event, but it may also be a quiet wound that has slowly taken hold over many years, often without the person fully realizing it.
In many cases, people come to the clinic while turning away from the source of their pain, or without knowing why they are suffering. As the characters begin therapy, discover the origins of their pain with their therapists, and gradually move their lives in a better direction, readers will gain a more accurate understanding of psychotherapy—and perhaps also find a warm sense of hope.
50 Mindfulness Practices for Gathering the Mind
Today’s Mindfulness Card
Today’s Mindfulness is a deck of 50 cards. One side of each card features an inspiring image, while the other side offers guided text for mindfulness practice. The images on the cards have been carefully selected and created to help focus the mind and awaken visual inspiration.
Take a few moments each day to choose one card and practice the mindfulness exercise written on it. Over time, this simple practice can help your mind enter a more mindful state. Some cards may feel especially helpful, while others may not immediately resonate with you.
Even then, it can be useful to intentionally practice with a mindfulness card that feels more difficult. Such cards may have the power to reveal something important about the deeper nature of the mind.
Open your five senses and experience what is around you, just as it is, in this present moment: the shining blue sky during a walk, the sound of a dove, the aroma of coffee rising with the warmth of the cup.
Mindfulness invites us to return our attention to these moments—the very moments that make up the present, yet so often pass unnoticed.
