I know WWASPS schools don't tell parents they can't see or talk with their children. I know it is recommended they rebuild their communication in stages which co-incides with the level priviledges. Things have changed - parents can go and see their child or talk to them anytime they so choose. It just isn't recommended for obvious reasons.
What a nice load of double speak. Isolation is not therapeutic, at all, period, whatsoever. Telling the family they cant keep in touch with a child because of whatever supposed hierarchy of 'priviladges' they just pulled out of their ass the child has or has not earned is bullshit. Complete bullshit. "Therapy" Is not taking away every right and priviladge a child has and making them jump through hoops to earn them back while disclosing every secret they have, going through LGATs and being punished with mindless worksheets, isolation, stress positions, pain compliance holds and living in fear disconnected from their family and friends.
Also, that 'isolation' tends to impinge on the rights of the family to see the child, not just the childs right to see out. Oh, and its not proper (or even legal in the states WWASPS does not operate in) to prevent them from talking to a lawyer or legal representation. Even Prisoners have those rights.
Dr. Phil has copied the WWASPS model in both his seminar approach and the way he presents himself to families. From what I can see, he has taken the WWASPS whole and healthy family model and used it to his benefit in books and t.v. shows.
Uh, no. He hasnt copied the "wwasps model", because there isnt one. Do you mean Resource Realizations? Thats just Gilcrease's rehash of Lifespring/EST bullshit which in itself is just another LGAT very similar to the crap Erhard made 5 decades ago. Then again, LGATs are just cultish diatribes against the people within using peer pressure and humiliation to cause disclosure, and going on long enough it causes a total emotional breakdown. While thats not hard to emulate or copy, its kind of impossible to do that with books or TV shows.
What he said on his show is not a surprise given the fact that he stands to make a lot more money and look more credible by making the Program he copies look bad in order to send more clients the way of his Program in Texas.
Well, what a surprise...
Anyone else see this??
I see someone flapping her gums but not a lot of substance coming out

Don't wink at me.
