Abstract
“Dwayne came last week; he is tough like the other Steele [Cottage] kids,” Tricia informs us.1 Tricia is an intake specialist. As an intake specialist she meets with the youth seeking admittance at Havenwood, and she screens them to assess fit with the psychiatric institution. Havenwood does not treat sex offenders, nor does it specialize in treatment for drug abuse. Dwayne is not seeking treatment for either of these issues. Tricia passes out the ten-page document she created from Dwayne’s two-inch thick foster care file: Dwayne’s Mental Health Assessment and Social History (MHA/SH).2
