That site does give a good explanation of DBT though. But this is the main reason I shy away from DBT for myself, as I don't hold to those philosophies.
I don't see DBT or mindfulness as being about promoting a philosophy or choosing one philosophy over another. As far as I'm concerned, Hayes's book could just as well have been titled, "Get out of your philosophy and into your life."
