First of all, you need to re-read my origional post. I was on an Ipad last night now I'm re-reading your dribble here. I specifically state in my post that in psych hospitals "assessment" is a primary focus. By "disagreeing" and stating we do assessment you are actually agreeing with me.

Yes, "treatment" is done in psych hospitals- and by "psych hospitals" I'm referring to they type OP works in- involuntary consent, average LOS 72 hours to maybe a week.

Treatment is trauma focused, or getting a person to contract for safety, etc. The real work of therapy is done long term. If you think you are "fixing" a person with therapy post-trauma incident that landed them in an inpatient facility against their will for just 72 hours you are as delusional as the patients you treat.

Also, I'm CBT/DBT focused. Do you really believe that building insight and behavioral techniques are mutually exclusive? If that is the case, I don't believe you are a psychologist. Maybe you are a MA level therapist with poor training at best. You've never heard of cognitive distortions, journaling to identify negative though patterns AKA "think and link" etc? If not, you need to get more training.

I am growing increasing disgusted with the level of training psych programs - specifically these "professional Psy D" programs offer. People come out not understanding best practices, or religious based schools teaching that perhaps lack of faith is the problem. I'm sickened at the level of understanding newly minted psychologists bring to the field. My hope is you are a random BS'er on reddit and are not actually treating anyone.
