Peninsula Village Q/A thread
nimdA:
Would you care to elaborate on a typical individual counseling session?
With that do you feel that the psychiatrist was respecting your privacy and not divulging information revealed in an individual session?
milkblood:
not every girl in the cabin had individual therapy. i guess the treatment team would decide who would benefit the most from it. it lasted an hour in the admissions building.
when we saw the psychiatrist, we all met him together in a group. we talked about our medications and our issues briefly in front of the other patients. you weren't ever "alone" with the dr. or in his office. in STU you meet with the psychiatrist upon admission to be evaluated. I was tested on STU with inkblots and some other test. not every girl had that done either.
the treatment team consisted of the day to day staff, the psychiatrist, the psychologist, addiction specialist, family therapist and individual therapist if you had one. they were the deciding factor in everything about your treatment.
nimdA:
So anything you said in an individual session wasn't privileged information between you and your psychiatrist?
milkblood:
the individual sessions were private... the groups where we met with our psychiatrists were with the whole group of girls and staff
Che Gookin:
where are we with this interview?
