[QUOTE="TerryJ2, post: 212741, member: 3419"] Hi Klmno, I found some hits online. It seems to be directed toward PTSD, for military veterans and rape victims. I think it grew out of older therapies (aka cognitive therapy). It seems pretty valid. It involves talking, as well as having the patient write down specifics. Why do your therapists not tell you what sort of therapy you or your difficult child are getting? Can't you just ask the front desk person b4 you make an appointment? Just wondering. Here's an example: [B]Reviewed by Priscilla Schulz, Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) [/B][SIZE=2] [B]from an article of the same title by: [/B] [B]Patricia A. Resick and Monica K.
