I don't think we should be speaking of why a clinic would offer services. Psychologists follow a code of ethics and we went into the field to help people. Just because someone is unlikeable doesn't make them unfit for treatment.
The treating facility has to evaluate her fully and see if they can help her. None of us here have.
I wouldn't be criticizing Menninger, Fonagy and all those others who worked their behinds off trying to understand personality disordered people.
A hundred years ago we thought it was a waste of time to work with schizophrenics and people of color (ie. "those poor and colored are too stupid and inadequate to benefit"). If it wasn't for some of the fields great minds who worked diligently with those 'untreatable' we would be in an even bigger rut today. Menninger's and other DBT facilities would love to help someone like KC. And not for praise or to get money or press. They've been doing this for decades and they'll continue on, with KC or without.
:clap: Well said Zeeks :clap:
I think the only way we are ever going to understand how Casey got the way she is; born that way or made that way by her environment, is for psychologists to study her. If they aren't able to accurately diagnose her with one or more disorders that explain her behavior, then maybe they will confirm the fact that she's just plain old evil.
