Well said, Don. I agree. My father is an MSW (and psychologist). When I was small, he had just gotten off active duty and was starting a private practice. I can remember some stressful nights when he would get calls in the middle of the night from a local SRS person with limited training, but who knew there was some abuse. He would often go out on these calls and sometimes a family member or child would end up meeting with him in his home office (for hours at a time). I found out later, it was really just a safe place to keep them until the police/sheriff could arrest the parent/abuser. I don't think he enjoyed that kind of work. He still does some family therapy, but most of the last 25 years was working for the government treating military personnel. He obviously still dealt a lot with abuse, but he also had combat veterans that needed help. Donald H.
