Marsha Linehan

Marsha M. Linehan is a Professor in the Department of Psychology, and Director of the Behavioral Research & Therapy Clinics (BRTC), University of Washington. The treatment she has developed combines the technology of change derived from behavioral science with the radical acceptance, or “technology of acceptance,” derived from both eastern zen practices and western contemplative spirituality.

"One of the most important treatment developments in recent years has been the theoretical and empirical elaboration of mindfulness and acceptance into evidence-based, cognitive-behavioral protocols. This book by Steven C. Hayes, Victoria M. Follette, Marsha M. Linehan -- three of the most creative thinkers in this area -- have produced a volume surveying the current status of these new intervention strategies across the wide spectrum of psychopathology." - David H. Barlow, PhD, Center for Anxiety and Related Disorders and Department of Psychology, Boston University
