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.

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)

Renaming article

Renamed article from "Psychological manipulation" to "Manipulation (psychology)" to be constant with the clinical and common used term for this subject and to follow the Wikipedia naming convention for delineating terms with multiple definitions.

Psychological manipulation is not a thing. It's an obscure term that has somehow made its way into the Wikipedia lexicon and if you Google the term, mostly Wikipedia articles come up. It's a Wiki-word. It's often substituted at Wikipedia for the simple word "manipulation" that appeared in the original citations.

This term is not used in psychology, not generally used in the media, it does not appear in the DSM or or mental health catalogs, it is not in the English dictionaries.

It is occasionally used for it's sensational effect in books like |Mindf_cking, A Critique of Mental Manipulation but these are not considered "reliable resources".

Broken article littered with "elyse"

I don't know how to edit a wiki without breaking things but this one is littered with an apparent find and replace error "elyse". Not sure how to fix that. Help? 217.122.169.235 (talk) 11:12, 2 April 2022 (UTC)

Nevermind, I guess someone alrdy got this fixed. Heroes!
