    <body><![CDATA[This has become a classic on BPD.  The dialectical piece of this model is not a behavioral strategy.  It is an attempt to move someone from a psychotic level (black/white thinking) of functioning to a neurotic level (holding things in tension, seeing other ways of knowing).  Also the acceptance part of this model is very helpful for seeing anxiety/tension as a postive in growth.  I also like the idea of the &quot;wise mind&quot; which is actually trying to get in touch with the superego, in dynamic terms.]]></body>
