OH CALO, OH CALO, And Hi Nicole.. I suspect you'll love this
Ursus:
These people are really into Attachment Therapy (red flags are a-flyin'). Specifically, the work of:
--- Quote ---Daniel A. Hughes—
* Clinical psychologist in Waterville, Maine.
* Specializes in child abuse and neglect, attachment, foster care, and adoption.
* Cites, employs, and uses some of the frameworks of Milton Erickson, Connell Watkins, Nancy Thomas, Deborah Hage, Allan Schore, Stanley Greenspan, Ann Jernberg and other therapists and clinicians.
* Utilizes a "psychodynamic perspective in interpreting for a child and his parent how past experiences of abuse and neglect are affecting his current affective, perceptual, and cognitive experiences and his related behaviors."
* Works with treatment centers such as the Attachment Center in Evergreen, Colorado and with Villa Santa Maria in Albuquerque.
* Recognizes that traditional interventions of play therapy, parent education, and cognitive behavioral techniques are not sufficient to effect significant progress with the poorly attached child.

Villa Santa Maria has other TTI connections ... and wasn't there a kid who was killed a few years ago in Colorado, actually literally squashed to death by her therapists?
I would hunker a guess that a fair chunk of the clients at CALO are adoptees who "don't demonstrate enough affection" towards their adoptive parents.

--- Quote --- Whomever it was that posted about the kids being a bunch of adopted kids, hit it right on the head.
Over half are adopted from the orphanages in Eastern Europe.

Given the punch the U.S. market has been hit with, I guess the industry is looking for other territory to feed off of! :D
...'Course that punch came well after CALO was already established. I guess CALO must think they are in the right place at the right time, huh?
Propaganda about Attachment Therapy and its accompanying "Disorder" (which, btw, is completely bogus) is aimed at a niche market of adoptive parents. Probably all those baby boomers who didn't already have kids of their own, for some reason or other...
Che Gookin:
Well remember the adopt a starving kid from Romania craze way back when? Most parents ended up with some well adjusted kids, but keep in mind a lot of them survived some hellish conditions in state run orphanages. One of the Whitmore parents told me all about it a while back. She adopted a great kid from Romania and Whitmore did a number on the poor kid. Thank god the parent her kid out in time. Last I heard the young lady was doing just fine despite the BS diagnosis and Whitmore.
I'd bet most of the kids adopted out of these Eastern Euro orphanages are doing just fine today, but like the rest of the world their specific population probably has problems just like any other kids. Leave it to the Teen Gitmo association to find away to spin it to their profit margin's advantage.

Okay... The three posts following this one will contain the entirety of the CALO Coach's Handbook, transcribed for posterity as well as for those unable to handle the sheer enormity of the download. Page numbers refer to the original document (not the IMG download number, posted by Che earlier on this thread).
There are two holes, namely pages 27+28, and 39 (original page numbers). I'll edit those in if/when the material becomes available.
