hankster, I'm sorry if I offended you personally, but having been a lawyer (adversarial
par excellence!), studied Hegel, practiced mindfulness, and know something about a number of Buddhist sects, the whole thing grossed me out entirely. A T being adversarial to a patient? I can't even conceive of it. Pushing in the right direction, certainly, but adversarial means (to me, at least) a lot more than that. And yes, I know it's from Wikipedia, which I love, but all of us understand that Wikipedia is a very strange and solitary beast that's not like Encyclopedia Britannica or the Bible. Take good care!

And this word was from wikipedia, not Cant's T. My T says this view of therapy is changing, not just to Linehan's ways, but to one where the T doesn't stand in judgment - more the unconditional positive regard carp we've talked about here.
