Marsha Linehan

Her work on borderline personality disorder is, in my honest opinion, is pure baloney. Many in the field have strong disagreements with her and lots of research that refutes many of her assertions and her motivation to spread DBT and profit from it as the "ultimate treatment" for BPD. Linehan was diagnosed with schizophrenia and the only criteria she met for a BPD diagnosis self-harm and chronic suicidal tendencies. There's far more to BPD than self harm and suicidal depression. Aside from being a "self-diagnosed BPD", she has made it her life's mission to make BPD a more sympathetic, less stigmatized personality disorder. Manipulative tactics employed by narcissists, psychopaths and borderlines were similar.[1]

Dr. Otto Kernberg, Gunderson, Kohut, Million, etc are the foremost experts and have Linehan isn't even in the same league. Pincotti4 (talk) 21:36, 20 June 2020 (UTC)

I'm a little skeptical of the source you've provided - it's a 30-year-old paper based on Rorschach testing with a sample size of 36; it is hard to accept it as convincing evidence of the claim. Obviously you make some other claims, but I was hoping for some more robust evidence on that one. Soogwoog (talk) 03:26, 8 March 2022 (UTC)
