Marsh Linehan has died.
Marsha was most impactful woman in history of psychology/her DBT is among best treatments ever developed/her life an inspiration of self healing & giving to others.
Marsha cured her first & toughest patient- herself- after a 2 yr hospital stay as teenager & then went on to help millions of people.
Marsha's special "dielectic" was to be the most validating of therapists, but also the most demanding. She gave patients more than anyone I've known, but expected them to work as hard as she did.
2 work things I'm proudest of are helping Marsha get her first NIMH funding/write her books. I think of Marsha & often will miss her always.
