How easy it is for me to identify with that. I worked for many years as

a Recreational Therapist and Counselor in a Substance Abuse/Alcoholism

Treatment Center and then for a couple of years in a Psychiatric Unit. I

often told friends of mine the exact same thing. Pretty much what you

saw with patients is what you got (e.g., schizophrenia,

manic/depressive, suicidal, etc) but with the staff, not so most of the

time (e.g., conniving, lies, deceipt, manipulation of date, drugging

patients so they (the staff) would not be disturbed, etc). Yikes!

Fortunately where I work the staff aren't like

that. For the most part they really are quite

decent. Some are more caring than others. Some

just do their job, while others reach out.

But I really don't observe abuse, I'm happy

to say.
