I attended school with Art on the 17th and 18th at UW-Stout. I enjoyed most of it and learned alot. My least favorite was the morning of the 2nd day. That is his _ _ _ therapy class and I felt evey uncomfortable with it. The younger students it doesn't seem to bother at all to discuss it. I know it is necessary but I felt really ucky during that three hours. For the rest of the time it was fun to watch the students role play trying to decided how they would handle situations. One teacher named Bea discussed the Native American culture. That is her specialty and she is well versed in it. She used to live in Colorado with her husband and lived with the Souther Utes. One teacher discussed the book they had read on an African Sharmin. That was interesting. Can't say I believe it, but it's interesting. The last class was on Diagnosis with the DSM book. That is like the bible of Therapy where it has the code for the different problems that people have so it can be submitted to the Insurance companies and tell the therapist what type of treatment will help the patient the most.
On Monday nights about 1/2 of the class meets at Nate and Christy's home, eat and study the DSM. It was fun watching them all interact. There are very smart kids in Art's class. The are about 15 that make up the core of the group that will work together on their masters degrees.
