I suspect I'd get the most out of DBT if it was tought from the standpoint that it is a set of useful skills to learn. Same as CBT.
Where I got into trouble with CBT (and I'll bet DBT is similar) is when it is the entire therapy, almost a religion.
Although I might well like it if I had Linehan herself as a therapist. I've seen her tapes, and while they're a bit simplistic, she also has a very nice sense of humor and radiates calm.
