[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]All the therapists I know are enablers. It's just too easy to get money to repeat back what someone wants to hear. There are no measurements for improvement and just basically therapy doesn't work the way it's supposed to. [/quote]

Sadly, I've seen this too. You tell them the people in your life are horrible and at fault for everything, you give them your one-sided perspective, and they repeat this back to you. TBH I don't know how a therapist would get the other side. Still, it's not helpful to the patient.[/quote]
We sent in the neuropsych results to a specialist therapist and she did weekly with the asd/bipolar II patient and every third time did it as a joint session with a family member.

The monthly or so joint session was for accountability sake and so the PhD psychologist could gauge progress, lying, omitting, etc patterns.

We’d also use the joint session to unpeel together any “episodes” or tantrums that recently happened. Or to go over the new habits or baby steps the patient was supposed to be working on (eg. Daily greetings to family members, reading personal emails once a week, doing one group activity a week, etc.). [/quote]
