- It makes Dwarf fortress playable. It's that good. Get it! - unknown source.
Dwarf Therapist gives you an advanced GUI to manage and check dwarf job allocations, military assignments, statistics (such as attributes, personality traits and happiness), sort dwarves by various criteria (e.g. profession, migration wave, happiness, number of assigned jobs etc.) and generally manage the Dwarven Resources of your fortress in a very convenient way. This version contains the "labor optimizer" semi-automatic labor management system.
Installation
Different distributions of Dwarf Therapist are available for different operating systems. To get started, download the executable from the releases page (cross platform: Windows, Linux).
Updating
When Dwarf Fortress updates it is not necessary to wait for a Dwarf Therapist update if there is an updated DFHack, since DFHack can generate an updated memory layout. In a DFHack command prompt, run devel/export-dt-ini. This will create a file named therapist.ini in the DF root directory; move that file to %APPDATA%/Roaming/Dwarf Therapist/memory_layouts/windows on Windows or ~/.local/share/dwarftherapist/memory_layouts/linux on Linux.[1]

About
Initially released in 2009, by Trey Stout (or chmod, as he's known on the forums), the program solves one of the most basic and annoying problems with the game—the difficulty involved in setting Dwarven labor preferences. In the vanilla game, the only way to set dwarven labor preferences (probably the most important setting there is, dwarf- wise) was to get to the dwarf, get to their labors screen, and then crawl through a tedious menu bumping this labor off or this one on. A starting group of seven dwarves? Not fun, but in grander scheme of the game, doable. 200 of them running amok? No way. Dwarf Therapist solved this problem by providing a functional tabular interface, plugged into the Dwarf Fortress memory, which allows the reading, editing, and committing of dwarven labor changes.
