But they do have GREAT Drs there....and other staff was great too. And it is right next to and conected by a hallway to presby (also great drs there), so if needed patients can be brought over there very easily.

I would probably incorporate some behavioral techniques, like social skills training. You can work on building interpersonal relationships...(eye contact, tone of voice, etc) and you can give out little homework assignments. Start small and build their confidence to interact in more anxiety provoking situations. (Ex: have them strike up a conversation with someone at the grocery store...then work their way up to initiating conversation with a stranger, etc) You can practice in therapy and model the behavior. Then, encourage them to practice these skills in real-world settings. This is beneficial for clients who have difficulties in social situations. What kind of skills building?

U must be a wonderful trophy of a wife, however psycho. Totally? Jus' kiddin' Yes, everything seems 2 follow from the top down. So why don't good people get in2 politics, or Y can't they stay good? We people do like zippo zilch 2 embolden the good, in deference 2 representative democracy. Reprehensible only because we make no means thru which we collectively insist on it, or that it's more direct. Sadly, the meek R meek, confused with weak.

But next in you phone book-guessing you live in the states, look up Dept of Mental Health. Call the number given and ask for the Director of Mental Health Services for you area of the state, most states are divided into areas. Next explain you have no insurance and you are in need of mental health services, most all states have agencies that work on a sliding scale. Also some states actually have a hot line that will help you if you need immediate help and I don't mean hospitalization. If that fails to work you can read my profile and if you feel safe e-mail me and I'll see what I can do for the state you live in. God Bless Reggie First of all it would help to know how old you are.

They are not trying to control people by saying it isn't NORMAL to a human, they are trying to control a CIVILIZED society. Otherwise you will be raping your mother sister and dog. That is the harsh and sad truth. The desire of man can get really really nasty.

Others who may be more seriously impaired have to have assisted living arrangements and educational accommodations for their specific needs. Nearly everyone has at least one mental health issue these days. So, the answer is NO. Most people with these mental issues are integrated into the mainstream of society today.

The problem is that anyone can call themselves a "therapist" without education or licensure. Just like anyone can call themselves a "life coach, job coach," etc. LMFT's (Licensed Marriage and Family Therapists) and LP's (Licensed Psychologists) have ethical guidelines they must follow or risk losing their license. I don't know where the LMFT's get theres, but you can go to APA.org to see the code of ethics for psychologists. Actually it is highly regulated among licensed professionals.
