There is a state shortage of MSWs'. There are particullarly few who are willing to work in rural areas, even on a 'visit and do a class' basis. To get to a university, with a MSW program involves about 250 miles of driving, each way.

The department I am at works on a excoption basis. That means that the rule says that 80% of us should have at least a BSW and 50% should have a MSW. The exception is this, we have no MSWs' and a single BSW (from a nonaccredited school. So, evry year we have to appeal to the state and request an exception.

No, I do not have my MSW or BSW, my BA is in Business and HR. My MA program, sort of, was a disaster. I, well... went nuts again. I crawled in a hole for about a year and then crawled out and took this job.

Robert, I missed this post so here goes,

the instructor commented that if a male victim does not recieve treatment, then he will become a sexual abuser.

Bullshit, about one in nine boys who were vicims as kids, go on to abuse others 'FACT'.

"you mean that there is a high probility that, left untreated, they will become sexual abusers." She then made clear that she stood by her first statement when she said, "no, they will become sexual abusers."

Where is she getting her information from?
I have never read a statement like that, and I have done loads of research on the same subject, and asked experts too.

Even today, boys are not given help unless their families formally request it, and then there are also the boys who cannot tell through silence.

She is wrong in training others to think the wrong way about abused boys and men, and it is re-vicimisation, just as you felt listening to this drivel.

I dont know about polygraphs, but you cannot make a past, you may be good at acting, but you cannot fake abuse because of all the issues that come out of abuse.

I would print this off, and send it to her, and ask her for comments.

You may want to PM Mike Church, because he does seminars for the police, and he certainly does not think the way she does.

This must be stopped NOW,
