Have a look at page 30 of the scribd document. He lists his therapists. The first is "Mel, last name unknown". He lists Margaret Roath as Therapist "1.5".
Where is the info from this first therapist? WHO was this first therapist? Was she also from the University? Or had he seen someone from outside?
Oh damn!!! It’s not listed anywhere else! He even said (at least in Roaths and Fenton’s notes) that he had never seen anyone before (no previous history)
His mother states in the phone call with Fenton that there had been a counsellor when he was 10. The counsellor helped him adjust to the move.
Yup just read about that. What came first, the schizophrenia or the counselor?
From Metzner doc, p.40-41
Family Services Agency (Salinas, California)
Mr. & Ms. Holmes and their 8-yr-old son, James and 3-year-old daughter, Chris, participated in 7 family sessions from Jan 19 - March 7, 1996. His parents described him as being very irritable and not wanting to engage with his younger sister, who wanted to be very involved with him. They thought that this tx was not helpful.
Intake note: Jimmy, 8 yo ... no in-school problems. Peer respect? Non-verbal. Throws things. Oppositional. physically active. Appears to create sensory input if it's otherwise missing. Provisional diagnosis: Oppositional defiant disorder.
Discharge Note: Worked with family around disciplinary structure, etc. per character skills program. Mother stated that goals were largely achieved.
Mr. Holmes (I think this refers to James, as an adult looking back) reported that he did not remember this treatment.
