[QUOTE="Shari, post: 123530, member: 1848"] Wow. Um...well... First and foremost, I'd want some serious sit-down time with this dude before I turned him loose to start therapy-ing my kid. I'd want to REALLY understand his rationale, intentions, and goal with this. That said, however, I can see where this could be a valid approach. If you're dealing with a person who is schitzophrenic (sp?) or the like, it is my understanding that there are very many times that the afflicted person can not differentiate what is real from what is not. So until the symptoms are under control, telling them that what they are seeing or hearing or experiencing isn't real is like me punching you in the face and telling you "I'm not punching you, its not real." To you, its very real. To them, its very real. I would also say, even once symptoms are controlled, that anything they perceived to have happened to them in their past would have to be dealt with and treated as tho it were real, because to them, it was.
