What is your kid's DSM diagnosis for which s/he "required" WT? Who performed the psychometric testing? Who recommended WT?"
A community mental hospital recommended Second Nature because the staff psychiatrist thought SNWP was a better choice. A psychologist named Corelli administered the following (in the field at SNWP):
Clinical Interview
Review of Information provided by the family
Adolescent History Form
WAIS-III
WIAT-II
MMPI-A
MACI
Rorschach Inkblot test
Beck Depression Inventory-II
TASC
SASSI-A
If you need me to elaborate on each test I will. Oh, I forgot, you're a MENTAL HEALTH PROFESSIONAL.
Not that it is your business but our kid suffers from Generalized Anxiety Disorder and the time in the Wilderness was perfect for that.

***All I'm saying is that if worked for you it is reducible to chance or luck.
I'm sure isolation, deprevation, fear, had some to do with it.

This is precisely why nobody ever wants to answer you DJ. You act like you care and then hurl insults. If you are so good with teens and families I hope you'll post your office phone number and address so that our family can make good use of a MENTAL HEALTH PROFESSIONAL such as yourself. A professional does not hurl insults to people in pain.

SHE loved it! And never experienced any of those things. Her absolutely favorite times were the solos. She felt confident that her parents were not deliberately putting her in harm's way. Also, she went willingly to the program and even turned 18 while she was there. So, find someone else to agree with you. People ask for info and all I can do is give them the info I've got.
