A manual is only as good as the therapist using it. I certainly agree that rigidity is counterproductive. However DBT becomes more flexible as the person learns to stop dangerous behavior. A manual will be more flexible out of a research setting and in the hands of a skilled therapist. DBT can be a way out of a painful life, but not the only way.
Regarding the skit, one of the guiding principles in DBT is not to be judgemental of persons in treatment by either the person or the therapist. Lables hopefully are only for diagnoses, not persons. I would hope that a DBT therapist would make note of that in order to be compassionate.
