Supportive Intensive Case Management

"What is there to say about the uselessness of this organization's case management program? What could I possibly say that would adequately describe how pointless, meaningless, and utterly awful this program's services are? Suffice to say that case managers, well-educated and trained as they are, don't really do anything. They are basically bureaucrats and rubber stampers. They are not therapists, they are not clinical psychologists, and they lack the communication skills necessary to do their job effectively. Let me reiterate once again: they are completely clueless as to how to properly talk to their clients. Awful, awful communication skills. Just terrible. Case managers are just mental health workers who aren't skilled enough to be therapists. A lot of them started their careers hoping to be therapists, but they quickly realized that really isn't part of their skillset, so they went down a level and became case managers. That basically describes their entire career arc. If they actually were skilled communicators, they would've been fine therapists. But that's not the case. Personally, I tried to be patient with them. I took their incompetence with a grain of salt; I gave them second chances all the time. But during my time under their care, they committed so many screw-ups, so many failures, that I finally had to end it altogether. And I've never been happier, since I don't have strange, pseudo-therapists providing unsatisfactory services. Thank God I got rid of them. I hope my former case managers read this, so that they can be aware of just how terrible their services are, and how they can improve -- they need drastic improvement. Listen, guys: I can help you be better. I can write a helpful essay entitled, "How the Silly Social Workers of Phelps Case Management Can Improve Their Services." You can do it, guys! I believe in you! Enjoy your unearned middle class salaries. Enjoy your bourgeois, bureaucratic jobs. Enjoy wasting everyone's time. I've never been more disgusted, more repulsed, by a group of people in my entire life. These workers are some of the worst human beings that I've ever had the displeasure of knowing. They are paternalistic, they are embittered, they are utterly useless for any and all of their clients. Quit your jobs and pick a new career. You don't belong in the mental health business, at all. You should be ashamed of yourselves. The quality of your services is equivalent to a gas-station hot dog. If anyone's considering using Phelps for their case management services, please steer clear. You should use St. Vincent instead. Phelps has serious problems with the qualifications and communication skills of their workers. Stay away from these terrible, awful people."
