I haven't read this thread through, I just wanted to add that quite honestly, I think among mental health professionals, it's the byword of the last couple of years. I had all this palaver for over two years taking my son to his sessions for his mental health problems. It just seemed to me that it was a way of salving their conscience about their 'duty of care' towards him. They even got me going to some of the sessions.
We were both already pretty *** mindful of all that was happening.
I can't say, in all honesty it helped at all, but they were well pleased with themselves and discharged him!
I felt he was being passed over to me to deal with from then in.
I'll go and read the thread now, and wait.....
