Read MoreI liked that John talked about some pitfalls we may do as therapists. It helped me to understand something and I noticed some I really do. So thank you. I liked that John said as well about expertism, the trap we can fall so easily and I liked about the celebration of difference. I am a student and I had recently a interview for my placement. I was asked this question about how you treat different child in a group and I answered exactly what John said. But I think my interviewer didn't like it so much. But I am feeling more confident now when I heard that someone else thinks like me.
