My company recently informed me that all counselors are required to start using the DAP format. They gave a training about it but it's still a struggle to figure out sometimes. I often am uncertain about what types of things to have under P but I think that's my inexperience as a therapist, rather than my lack of knowledge on using the note. Thanks for the advice.

I love the stories about some of your anonymous clients, and so appreciate that you will wear your heart on your sleeve and share some thoughts on your own family dysfunctionality! At first I thought you were a bit cynical,and yet after being in 55 CEU's of graduate workshops around mental health professionals, they all have a bit of an edge, and after going through some of the curriculum this semester I can understand! I too am grounded in the Word, and before I entered TCC 4 years ago, had just finished 5 years of BSF studies. Looking at psychology with a Word perspective makes so much more sense as I seek to help my clients in the areas of wellness. We truly have a mind, body connection that cannot be denied! When it comes to the "Is it nature? or nurture?" in diagnosis of someone has always intrigued me and yet I imagine that's part of the mystery of psychology.........sometimes maybe only God knows! Thanks again for what you have taught me this semester as it's truly been a gift. Debbie Leslie I so appreciate your blogs and have enjoyed your Abnormal Psych class this semester.

I'm not sure what you mean by "equally valid". I think all have a role to play except, perhaps, the mainstream. I would have a hard time calling something that has been traditionally biased toward a more liberal theology as valid. I didn't realize Jay Adams had a blog. I'll have to give it a look. Luke,

Thanks for the question; and welcome to Counseling Notes.

I’m not sure what you mean by “equally valid”. I think all have a role to play except, perhaps, the mainstream. I would have a hard time calling something that has been traditionally biased toward a more liberal theology as valid.

I didn’t realize Jay Adams had a blog. I’ll have to give it a look.

Are all these types viewed as equally valid? Are some viewed as better options for specific problems?

Date night is so important. Make a babysitter two times/month a non-negotiable part of the budget. It’s too easy to say it is too hard or expensive, but it’s an important part of maintaining your relationship with your partner. Absolutely. Date night is so important.
