Yes, mindfulness can & even must extend into things like washing the dishes -- doing what you are doing fully while you are doing it. This is sort of like active meditation. I don't know a lot about DBT, but it sounds as if it marries mindfulness with cognitive behavioral training and other adaptive behaviors. My experience is that mindfulness deepens and "activates" any other therapy you might be doing so DBT seems to make a lot of sense. Besides, it was invented (according to about.com) by someone from my alma mater, so it's got to be great! ;)
