Pack your bags... THE LAST DIARY SESSION takes us on an incredible adventure through the backstage reality of Reality TV. Its deeply philosophical style brings through a perception-shattering message to the searchers of today with unmatched cult humour. What started out as a diary to sort out his own recollections resulted in a book written by Zlatko Fabris, or better know to South African audiences as 'Zee'. ''I am no Author, I am no Writer. I had no idea how this all worked, but the Great Spirit brought me signs and placed things in my path that I could never ignore,'' said Zee. The Last Diary Session is a real life story of the backstage spiritual journey of a Reality TV personality. The Author was chosen for the reality TV programme - Big Brother, and came out on the other side of a spiritual roller coaster, with a story to be told on the reality of Reality TV. The book jumps from his present, to his past, to his crazy travel experiences, to his spiritualism and philosophies, to the way he sees art and culture, to the joys and struggles of growing up in the world we live, and it forces us to pack our bags and join him on a fascinating trip into the mind of a temporary public personality.

Dialectical behavior therapy (DBT) is a specific type of cognitive-behavioral psychotherapy developed in the late 1980s by psychologist Marsha M. Linehan to help better treat borderline personality disorder. Since its development, it has also been used for the treatment of other kinds of mental health disorders. The Oxford Handbook of DBT charts the development of DBT from its early inception to the current cutting edge state of knowledge about both the theoretical underpinnings of the treatment and its clinical application across a range of disorders and adaptations to new clinical groups. Experts in the treatment address the current state of the evidence with respect to the efficacy of the treatment, its effectiveness in routine clinical practice and central issues in the clinical and programmatic implementation of the treatment. In sum this volume provides a desk reference for clinicians and academics keen to understand the origins and current state of the science, and the art, of DBT.
