About this puzzle

About the DBT word search

It is meant as a light review or a vocabulary warm-up for people already learning these skills, for example in a skills group or a school counselling session. It does not teach DBT and is no substitute for a qualified therapist. The word list is medium-to-hard and suits teens and adults from about 13 up. The printable PDF has the answer key on page two.
