The following two criticism should be removed as wp:NOR unless the can be sourced.
Certain aspects of DBT are subject to debate, including the rule that states, "Any individual who misses four consecutive DBT meetings can no longer work with their preassigned DBT therapist, no matter how long they have been working together." Although this rule is intended to encourage participation, Peer Counselors and Disability Advocates like Raquel Santiago, a certified peer counselor and first responder in San Francisco, argue that this rule tends to penalize patients unfairly, since even hospitalizations for medical purposes are not exempt.[citation needed]
Additionally, learning and remembering the counter-intuitive acronyms used to label the modules can pose a challenge to people who suffer from cognitive processing delays caused by either medication, the symptoms of their diagnosis, or other organic functioning issues.[citation needed]
Nice job on the article. I have only one complaint. You removed the underlines from the characters making up the acronyms. I think they were useful and would like to restore them. -- Cdw ♥'s ♪ ♫(talk)02:45, 25 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]
I do DBT, and the "4 misses in a row" is a real rule, but it's oversimplified here. I don't think it happens as much as the critic makes it sound. DBT therapists don't just drop people as clients, there's interventions in place to prevent 4 misses in a row like using phone coaching and addressing commitment to the program. Clients start knowing the rule before starting phase 1 and agree to it, and if there's concerns, the therapist is trained to address it. I think I have too much COI to make any edits myself on this page. In Marsha Linehan's memoir, she addresses critiques herself as it was challenging to establish the treatment, so that could be a good place to start and then find independent sources that explain it.
I believe I’ve read something to that effect in Brodsky & Stanley, but it’s not showing up in my PDF search right now. I might do a more in-depth look later. Artoria2e5🌉00:05, 9 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
I skimmed most of the lead and still couldn't tell you how DBT works, what the steps are, etc. I think that info should be front and center, in the first or second sentence. –Novem Linguae (talk) 06:24, 18 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
