Prelude to Post of Dr. William G. McCown Q&A

Ok...Let's begin.

First off we have our Virtual Cognitive Therapy Tools (You knew they were virtual, right?)

The Kitten



The Electrode



And the Goose



AlanLeroy is in charge of the Kitten. Whenever DonDiego gives a truthfull, thoughtful response, AlanLeroy will post the Kitten Tool. Whenever DonDiego sees the Kitten Tool, he will imagine cute positive thoughts.

Snidely is in charge of the Electrode. Whenever DonDiego gives a false or unreasoned response, Snidely will post the Electrode Tool. Whenever DonDiego sees the Electrode tool, he will imagine searing electrical pain reverberating throughout his body.

DonDiego is in charge of the Goose tool. Whenever DonDiego feels either Creeped Out or Sexual Arousal, he will post the Goose Tool.


So, DonDiego...Are you ready for Question #1?

No!

Best and Final Offer: snidely333 can administer the therapy to alanleroy and control the electrodes and control the goose and DonDiego will just leave you two alone together. He suspects that's what alanleroy has wanted all along anyway.

Oh, for Pete's Sake! This thread has been taken over by Larry, Moe & Curly!!!

Yes, Snidely. DonDiego is the perfect example of the key issue with Congitive Therapy. Those with congitive distortion bias are unlikely to recognize they have a problem and will not seek or accept treatment until it becomes a crisis situation. A few socratic questions, a little guidance, a cute kitten, electrode and a goose and DonDiego's issues could be behind him....but no....he refuses the first step to salvation.

I wonder if this might work with a Proxy? Someone who knows him well enough to predict his respones and answer for DonDiego...Hmmmm.

Frank is not going to be happy about the turn of events here.

So, . . . like, . . . wassup with the gooses and kitties?
