Treatment Abuse, Behavior Modification, Thought Reform > Who Am I Discovery/Whitmore
Does this sound familiar to anyone?
Couture:
I don't know if I can't remember because it was so long ago or if it is because they were so common. Groups were held pretty often. Some were not as extreme as others. I did keep a daily journal while I was there, I should look back at it. My laptop is in the shop right now, but as soon as it is back, I will definately take a look.

I do not consider it an insult, but rather a compliment, to be called an agnostic. I do not pretend to know where many ignorant men are sure.

Couture,
Did you ever see a student singled out for any type physical abuse during these group sessions? Like being hit, spit on, pushed around, that sort of thing--by Cheryl or by the other kids?
Couture:
One time we had a group about this kid that had cut himself on purpose. We had a group about it, with a lot of wellng and screaming at him, then another student slapped him. Sheryl didn't seem to mind much. A lot of demeaning things happened during groups. It was a pretty long time ago, though, for me, it is hard to remember a lot.
Anonymous:
This one example is why a professional should lead "group sessions." A child who cuts himself, or self-mutilates, has deep-seated issues that must be addressed; and unless all the kids in the group sessions have the same problem--a group session is not the correct therapy to begin with.
And again--Cherly Sudweeks is not a therapist.
