Talk:Dialectical behavior therapy

message: Thank you for these comments and to the author for the original contribution.
Although I agree thats work would improve the sense of this contribution and I am lucky in being a lawyer able to sift through the sense of the sentence constructions, I do not agree that it is out of reach of our adinces. Please be careful not to assume ignorance. What is today's jargon might be tomorrow's ordinary parlance. Steve Reynolds  00:12, 6 April 2010 (UTC)

message: I read the criticisms and assumed they were in good faith.  I reviewed the article and it's layout seemed confusing.  Much of this topic is new definitions and skill sets so the best layout is HTML definitions and indents with proper italicizing and bold lettering.  The wording still seems a bit awkward but they are almost verbatim to the workbooks.  Some rephrasing is needed.  I hope any newcomer can glance through and get a good idea quickly what the skill sets are.Alatari(talk) 22:33, 26 April 2010 (UTC)

message: I just read Linehan's starter material, and it is nothing like this page.  She avoids the philosophy for one, and focuses on what the therapy means. I am not saying that the philosophy is irrelevant (or overly interesting), it's not the key concept.   --John Bessa (talk) 20:14, 8 December 2010 (UTC)
thread_title: Reads like a brochure--but not Linehan's!

message: Why is it dialectical?  The article currently doesn't discuss etymology or the nature of whatever is dialectical in general or specifcially here.  I don't think I know, hence I'm not trying to edit it.  Midgley (talk) 01:11, 20 January 2015 (UTC)

Someone has added the following: "[unreliable medical source?]"
The American Journal of Psychiatry is, to put it mildly, pretty reputable.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 156.22.8.20 (talk) 23:39, 18 November 2018 (UTC)
replies: text: No idea, and I've removed those tags. They looked like longstanding drive-by tagging and/or sneaky POV edits. If anyone disagrees, I suggest they make their case on the talk page, here, and/or go to WP:RSN to discuss. KillerChihuahua 18:26, 24 September 2019 (UTC)
replies: text: Most of the sources used in this article are from Linehan herself, or don't comply with WP:MEDRS, which recommends not randomized trials, but review articles.  --159.196.100.171 (talk) 11:53, 15 April 2021 (UTC)
thread_title:  Why is the American Journal of Psychiatry tagged as a potentially unrelaible source?

message: "DBT has five specific states of change which the therapist will review with the patient: pre-contemplation, contemplation, preparation, action, and maintenance.[22] Precontemplation is the first stage, in which the patient is completely unaware of their problem. In the second stage, contemplation, the patient realizes the reality of their illness: this is not an action, but a realization. It is not until the third stage, preparation, that the patient is likely to take action, and prepares to move forward. This could be as simple as researching or contacting therapists. Finally, in stage 4, the patient takes action and receives treatment. In the final stage, maintenance, the patient must strengthen their change in order to prevent relapse." 
Not sure the rules on deleting stuff, but this is very misleading. This describes the Stages of Change in the Transtheoretical Model and is not part of DBT. It should not appear in this article.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 172.97.190.104 (talk) 21:40, 22 April 2022 (UTC)
thread_title:  Stages of Change are not part of DBT 

message: Quote: "This module outlines healthy coping behaviors intended to replace harmful ones, such as distractions, improving the moment, self-soothing, and practicing acceptance of what is." From the way it is written here, I don't understand which behaviors are meant to be harmful and which are meant to be healthy. I would suppose that only distractions are meant as harmful but the way the sentence is structured it allows the reading that all following behaviors are understood as harmful so I am honestly confused. 37.48.60.73 (talk) 20:04, 28 June 2022 (UTC)
