Article needs to be rewritten

Hello all,

I've tagged this article that it may be in need of being rewritten to comply with Wikipedia's layout guidelines. Here's the reasoning behind the tagging of the article.

  1. The article reads like a list in several sections. It mostly is written in bullet points, which are not developed enough. It should be written in prose.
  2. It reads in some areas like a how-to of how to preform psychological manipulation.
  3. It lists some people as if their opinions and thoughts are the ones which are most important.
  4. It fails to list and document the types of psychological manipulation which exist and instead focuses on vulnerabilities and what are the requirements for it to work.

There are so many bullet points listed as there are so many forms of manipulation. For nearly all bullet points there are links to other articles which go into individual manipulation types in depth. Braiker categorises many manipulation types in terms of reinforcement and punishment (psychology) which is the generally recognised theory behind manipulation. The workings of that theory can be understood by visiting reinforcement and punishment (psychology).--Penbat (talk) 19:00, 18 September 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Marsha Linehan

Her work on borderline personality disorder is, in my honest opinion, is pure baloney. Many in the field have strong disagreements with her and lots of research that refutes many of her assertions and her motivation to spread DBT and profit from it as the "ultimate treatment" for BPD. Linehan was diagnosed with schizophrenia and the only criteria she met for a BPD diagnosis self-harm and chronic suicidal tendencies. There's far more to BPD than self harm and suicidal depression. Aside from being a "self-diagnosed BPD", she has made it her life's mission to make BPD a more sympathetic, less stigmatized personality disorder. Manipulative tactics employed by narcissists, psychopaths and borderlines were similar.[1]

Dr. Otto Kernberg, Gunderson, Kohut, Million, etc are the foremost experts and have Linehan isn't even in the same league. Pincotti4 (talk) 21:36, 20 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]
