[QUOTE="Copabanana, post: 745250, member: 18958"] I would ask to speak with other parents. I would also ask for a staff person contact, a liason, for this interval. Baggy. From a therapeutic point of view, the isolation establishes boundaries so that the child cannot so effectively manipulate the situation playing both sides against the middle to gain power. Which is exactly what the teen would do. Cry abuse. Think about what your son did to you. How he described you. And how he was believed. The containment also establishes a therapeutic millieu so treatment can be effective. It establishes context. If L called you and described abuse you would believe him and yank him. And only ask questions latter. I am not justifying their practice, just putting it into context. What would be the alternative? I could not find standard intervals of LTD communication. And guess they do not want parents to freak out. When my son went there was an interval and it did not bother him at all. The time went quickly. But in retrospect it was no big deal. But he was 8 years or so older. Could you visit before he is placed? [/QUOTE]
