As a young social worker in a New York City psychiatric clinic, I was asked to see Roz, a 20-year-old woman who had been referred to us from another psychiatric clinic. It was an
referral in that no information was received
her first appointment. I was told to “play it by ear”, and to
what her problems were and what she needed.
an examination to go on, I saw Roz as an unhappy, misunderstood young woman who hadn’t been listened to in her earlier treatment. Her family situation was unpleasant. I didn’t see her as disturbed,
rather as lonely and misunderstood. She responded so
to being heard. I encouraged her to start a life worth living — to find a job, a satisfying place to live and new relationships. We hit it off well, and she
making important changes in her life.
The records from the previous psychiatric clinic arrived a month after Roz and I began our successful work together. To my complete surprise, her records were several inches thick,
a long period of psychiastric hospitalization. Her diagnosis was “paranoid schizophrenic(妄想型精神分裂症)”, with a
that she was “hopeless”.
That had not been my experience with Roz at all so I decided to forget those pieces of paper. I never treated her as if she had that “hopeless” treatment. I did find out about the horrors for Roz of the hospitalization, of being drugged, separated and abused. I also learned a lot from her about
such deeply and unforgettably shocking circumstances.
First Roz found a job, then a place to live away from her difficult
. After several months of working together, she introduced me to her husband-to-be, a successful businessman who adored her.
When we
our treatment, Roz gave me the gift of a silver bookmark and a note that said, “Thank you for believing and encouraging me.”
