purple Posted August 28, 2009 Share Posted August 28, 2009 I was talking to another woman MST PTSD vet and she was told recently that "one-on-one therapy for MST PTSD was not beneficial and no longer done here" (at the Dayton VAMC mental health clinic)....WHAT????????????? And it was the mental health chief who told her this. They are pushing all group therapy now. So now I have a stack of Vet Center business cards that I hand out to my female vet friends when I see them. Anyone else's VA turning away MST PTSD vets for individual therapy???

HadIt.com Elder tagandbag Posted August 28, 2009 HadIt.com Elder Share Posted August 28, 2009 Purple, I could not tell you what the VAMC in Miami does with MST vets. But , you know I think I will ask around and see whats up. If it can help someone, I will definitely pass it along. t&b Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Notorious Kelly Posted August 28, 2009 Share Posted August 28, 2009 Here in Portland they have been short on therapists and postponing therapy "until more interns arrive in the fall." I wouldn't be surprised if the group approach is financial/personnel related. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HadIt.com Elder john999 Posted September 1, 2009 HadIt.com Elder Share Posted September 1, 2009 Psychotherapy at my VAMC does not exist. All it is is a 15 minute medication check. That is straight from the mouth of my VA psychiatrist. I get 15 minutes every three months. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
