[QUOTE="smallworld, post: 312517, member: 2423"] Steely, I'm so sorry. I'm wondering if Matt has undergone any psychological (NOT cognitive) testing recently. This would tell you how emotionally "sturdy" he is and whether he can withstand the emotional rigors of the program you're putting him through. Before we sent our son J to wilderness over the summer and then to his Residential Treatment Center (RTC) in Utah this fall, he underwent this type of psychological testing; the psychologist told us J was emotionally sturdy and unlikely to have a psychotic break. That was very important to us because we didn't want to inflict more emotional damage. And the psychologist was right: J thrived in wilderness, and he seems also to be doing well at his Residential Treatment Center (RTC). I worry that the program may not be meeting Matt's needs if he keeps melting down. Do you have any idea what the problem seems to be? Hugs to you. I can only imagine how exhausted you are. [/QUOTE]
