> Dr. Bob is practicing dialectical behavior therapy here on Babble? Linehan's model? I don't understand.
This was in reference to a suggestion -- apparently in another thread -- that DBT is applied in other groups, which I recall were presented in comparison as potentially prefered models for this one. My interest in his therapuetic intent in piqued by his statement (or statements - and again in other threads I've not time to fish out) that suggest he perceives his methods here to have coincidental thereapuetic effects.
I wonder, when a person does something that coincidentally happens to routinely serve another purpose than the stated purpose, and when they are trained in the means and advocates of the goals of a coincidental purpose, if it is not worthwhile to more carefully consider their secondary coincidental purpose, and whether the means achieving that purpose are occuring outside the normal controls used to assure satisfactory results by those means.
> I'm very familiar with DBT, and other models based on DBT. I have not seen any therapy being practiced on this board by Dr. Bob, neither have I seen DBT or therapies modelled after DBT being applied as therapy. I'm curious, who do you see as the objects of this approach here on Babble?
