One of the things I really like about Marsha Linehan's book on DBT is that she takes on that idea and shows that it's circular reasoning. Just because others (including Ts) might *feel* manipulated, that doesn't mean the person *intended* to manipulate them. Self-destructive thoughts or acts might have all kinds of motives, but usually the first one is to deal with overwhelming painful feelings.
I like her explanation much better than the conventional psychodynamic view.
