Dialectical behavior therapy (DBT) is not Marxist. It is a form of talk therapy that was developed to treat people with Cluster B personality disorders (Borderline, Narcissism, Histrionic, Antisocial) and bipolar disorder. According to Google it has also shown success with OCD so I imagine it can be used flexibly. This indicates to me that Ms. Hidalgo may be suffering from a Cluster B disorder especially since the original claim for her seeking medical treatment was "Adderall addiction." Substance abuse is a common pitfall for people who suffer from Cluster B and adjacent disorders like bipolar and OCD. (They try to use substances to self-medicate their problems with sad results.)

I am a white right winger and I am not nuts by any stretch of the imagination.
