Reply to "Administering ACE questionnaire in a clinical setting"

James, if you're referring to people being off topic asking about the Resilience/Child Protective Factors history 'score' I beg to differ and believe it has everything to do with the discussion.  Keith initially asked about the resilience score, so it is on topic.

Because it gives you the biggest picture of the client's childhood.  The question is how to administer sensitively as it can potentially traumatise people for a while when it sinks in if one has a really low score, yet is so pertinent I believe to understand that whole picture.  If you understand exactly what you went through, and you're young, you have your lifetime to try to heal, with a realistic grounding in what actually occurred and what you need to do, with help. So after such a score/history it needs to be followed up with something positive - empowering as well as the 'truth', to give hope.

At least that's my take on it!
