Possibly, if I were on some hard-core substances, Daytop's methodology WOULD make sense.  Otherwise, it is what it is: the blind leading the blind...

It appears so. Frank & I never got along, I thought his ego & lack of understanding or refusal to understand the  kids was not what Daytop teaches he was do as i say, not as i do, thankfuly, we were taught to conduct ourselves professionally at work and to uphold a higher moral standard outside of work. I was a friend of his boss and although i am a Daytopian as you so eloquently put it he tried to squeeze me out with the rest of the classically educated, degreed bunch. What got rid of me was those weekends alone with the kids who were impossible to keep structured, or controlled - comes to mind. actaully I left because i needed to join the real world. I never had a problem with the mental health staff, never thought of them as outsiders trying to expose me for my lack of education, I always thought we worked effectively together. I unfortunately was a troubled adolescent smoking pot, drinking ( like the young lady we seem to have lost track of) and whatever else was no good for me. I listened to those who were genuine in my opinion and stayed away from those who thought they were better because they were book smart. I was street smart and that with a little common sence went a long way for me. I also care and have a big heart. I have many friends that still work for Daytop,  I left back in February of 1995 I am no longer in the field. I keep in touch with Dan Galegher via email, he's no longer with daytop I was one of his better students in family theropy I was able to connect with most families when others failed or gave up. Back to the young lady she was thrown into the "Concept" without being auditioned for the part. Scary!

Don't worry.  We haven't lost track of the "young lady."  If you go back and read this thread you'll see she suffered as a resident of Daytop and subsequently as a caregiver (MSW) in a broken-down system, and is now looking for a new career.  Funny how we all arrive at the same point, isn't it?

You left in Feb. '95, huh?  I started at the ADU in early '95, so I guess we just missed one another.  I worked with Mike Clifford, George Weisenburger and Hendrick Toney (not sure if the last name's right) who were ALL great guys.

Anyway, I hope you are doing well in your current endeavors.
