Smash the Square Peg into The Round Hole (Mental Coercion) versus the Best Interest of the Child Approach

Psychologists are saying that they must make D* fit the reality of his situation including current divorce decrees, rather than gathering information and having those agreements modified for his benefit. This is the square peg must fit the round hold approach to psychology. It is appropriately used on soldiers and other people who have a duty they can not avoid.  Living with one's mother is not such a duty.

The approprate approach for child is the 'best interest' model of psychology. According to this model the child is listened to, his situation is evaluated and changes are made to the environment in the child's best interest while respecting parental relationships. This is the law in Texas, and the law according to the UN Convention on the Rights of a Child, which is part of the Human rights framework. It is also common sense. Children are not soldiers who must bend to the decisions of the court, rather the court must bend to accommodate the children. A family court room is not a criminal court room where there is a choice to find mom or dad guilty, rather instead it is a facilitator of a solution for the child.

Dr. Gary Yorke D*'s current psychologists states the square peg in the round hole theory in the first letter shown below. Caryl Dalton the prior psychologist went much further. Dr. Yorke was D* psychologist since 2008. Caryl Dalton was D* psychologist from 2002 until 2008. To this date D* never lived without being in psychotherapy for the purpose of addressing his 'problem' of wanting to live with dad.
