Tremendous article. My favourite line, "Without a grounded, steady herder to hold the rope, the boundaries of the self collapse, and the individual drowns in the very same water in which the mystic swims with delight." I love Linehan. Her work was very helpful for me. Thank you for this article.
This is such a beautiful and deep description not only of Marsha Linehan's life and work but of the twists and turns of the interplay of psychotherapy and spirituality over the past decades. You touch upon many of the key people, practices, and challenges in a wise and insightful way that is sure to help many people. A classic essay that deserves to be anthologized widely.

Oh! I would love to hear about that sometime, especially how you bridge that with Lacanian analysis, etc.
