Hi, I read most of Linehan's book before I started DBT. I wish I had read it in more depth. I truly cannot find a purpose in belittling patients. It is very painful. If I wanted attack I could go to my mother. Anyway, I am now reading it in depth and still cannot find the point. Maybe she just does not have the personality for this kind of therapy or maybe DBT is not all it is supposed to be. The irreverance is supposed to be balanced with validation so the pt. does not drown in self hate I guess.
ps She did call back late at night because she could not hear my phone number. Anyway I did not do any cutting. The time had passed. thanks again. terrics [I'll let you know if this DBT is worth while or a waste of time ].
