Shana has borderline personality disorder. She is in a therapy session, and tells her therapist she is "sick of the suicidal thoughts and gestures" she always finds herself engaging in. The therapist replies, "I think to give up these kinds of gestures will be very hard. It will probably require a commitment of a year to a therapy program. Can you make that commitment?" "Of course," Shana
replies. "I don't want to live like this." Her therapist counters, "Then you realize if you committed to a year of therapy, that means you cannot commit suicide or the therapy can't work. Do you understand this?" What type of therapy is Shana probably receiving?
