That's not twuu... Jayne Says "Students can apply this technique to all aspects of their recovery and growth."
See. It's a one size fits all solution! She's careful to call them "students" and implies it is the students themselves that will be somehow "learning" or applying these techniques on themselves in these "training sessions". No unauthorized therapy going on at Benchmark... Noep.. none at all.. just "education". It's "training sessions".. not "raps" or "group". lols.

Couldn't this be used possibly, as grounds for malpractice? Since it qualifies as a specific, legitimate treatment used for a specific condition, as opposed to something nebulous like primal scream or bioenergetics?
Even the over-medication used by Ulrich, I think, would be more difficult to prove, since most of those medications can be used for a variety of conditions, often inappropriately, even in the public sector. But this is really ONLY for people with spectrum mood disorders. Certainly not for all "students" at a school.
I would think this could be a good argument for misusing a specific therapy for a general, undiagnosed population. I wonder what Dr. Linehan would say about this. Maybe someone should ask her.
There is apparently a study from Washington state in which DBT was used on juvenile offenders. Im wondering if Jayne seized on that. Im downloading the pdf now to read.
The thought about the potential for how this particular type of therapy could be misused scares the hell out of me.
