Question:
You spoke to a false distinction between social workers and mental health
workers. In fact, the majority of therapists in mental health are social
workers, not psychologists or psychiatrists or any other disclipline.
You stated that in your neighborhood most MSW social workers were not
clinical social workers. I stated that the majority of MSW social workers
were clinical social workers.
Answer:
I did so to, number one, point out your thinking error in making the false
distinction between social workers and mental health workers. In fact,
social workers of both BSW and MSW levels are involved in mental health work
and the majority of mental health therapists are social workers. Secondly,
I did so to challenge yet again your credibility by posting a breakdown of
BSW social worker roles to lend the false impression you are challenging my
statement in our discussion of MSW social workers. Rather than admit the
thinking error, you persist with posting of information that does not apply
to issue discussed but pretends to do so.
Your posting of roles of undergrad social workers does nothing but
reinforce my argument that most social workers with graduate degrees (MSW)
are mental health workers. You destroy your own argument. And by insisting
on trying to defend what is obviously a thinking error:
"....Since I was not a social worker, but a mental health worker, my
professional language may vary from there, but the essentials are the same."
Since many social workers are also mental health workers, you make a false
distinction. It is not an either/or situation. The two terms are not
mutually exclusive.
Not in the slightest. Your "parts" may have roughly the same distribution
of undergraduate social workers but certainly not the same distribution of
MSW social workers, which we were discussing. If your parts have more MSW's
in fields other than mental health, then your "parts" have to be very local
and certainly unique. The majority of MSW's in your state are mental health
workers.
Doug has gone to great lengths to argue the intricacies of who does
mental health work, and claims they do the most, against the evidence
from the department of labor that in fact they are, among those with an
MSW, the smallest number. Most MSWs do not do mental health work. They
do, as they name implies, social work.
He simply changes to circumstances to suit his goal.....to draw any
reader away from the actual issue. Claimed abuse of children by CPS..
The trick here, that he tried once again, was to fill the screen with
mountains of unimportant argument...miles from the issue, then try to
sneak in at the end more of his propaganda without answering the
fundamental question implied by the claim made that CPS emotionally and
psychologically abuses children...apparently uncaringly or possibly on
purpose.
I challenge the subject, and he wishes to pick up on a matter that has
little to nothing to do with the subject. That IS what he does when he
cannot answer the questions posed, or the challenges made to his
incredible lies.
