Hi Laura
Are these the CALCASA people you are writing about? I wondering before about the level training and experience that the TF-CBT therapists had and who it was who trained them? I think if psychiatrist Judith Cohen, the originator of TF-CBT, had been the therapist, there may have been different results. Reactive Attachment Disorder should only be diagnosed and treated by an infant mental health specialist, and one of the ethical standards all mental health professions is to not work outside one's scope of practice and to make proper referrals when clients present with challenges beyond one's training.
I'm also a graduate of the John Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health, and am seeing so much sloppy handling of the SARS-CoV-19 pandemic, it's disturbing. We're finding out the contract tracers are being hired based on cronyism and nepotism, not on their professional backgrounds. That makes it more important than ever for us, as citizens, to do our part.
