Alcohol abuse rehab/treatment centers in/around WI  -  " I believe Herrington over in Oconomowoc is probably considered the best in Wisconsin. I have worked with people that have been to Herrington and Hazelton. The impression I get is that the Herrington program is more personal. Of course Hazelden is not in Wisconsin. It's across the border in Center City, Minnesota, about 15 miles from St. Croix Falls, Wisconsin on Highway
8. I have had family members, partners, friends and clients who have been there and know several people who have worked there. It is world famous and justly so. I recommend it highly."

Love and Logic

"Les Prausa of West Grove Clinic 262-780-9788 ext. 102 or go to
www.westgroveclinic.com and you will find all the info.  They are on
124th and Watertown Plank Road."

 "There are lots of places that offer Love and Logic classes.  There is, however, no central listing that I know of to find them all. Mostly, you've just got to call your list of 'usual suspects' until you find
what you need. My list of resources has the following major people or organizations.  If they don't offer a course that's good (time or location is wrong) for your
parent(s), they are usually good about providing other instructors orsponsoring agencies that they know of:--Pam Olsen is an instructor who does a lot of this work.  She's also
willing to give you the names of other instructors who may be offering courses in other areas or at other times.  (I have two numbers for her, one
of which may be out of date)     Try her at 262-695-4454  or at 414-379-0699 --PPAK in Waukesha used to offer L&L courses.  They're a good referral
resource for other places that may offer the courses. --The Parenting Network in Milwaukee (Thomas Weber) at 414-671-5575
organizes several 7-hour L&L courses around Milw county, using a few different instructors.  They can tell you when and where their next few are
set up, and they may be able to refer you to other sources as well. --West Grove Clinic in Elm Grove has a member of their staff that regularly
offers L&L classes (they even do a 4-hour L&L for Divorcing parents that satisfies the court's parent education requirement).  Their number is262-780-9788 Mostly, it's just a matter of laboriously calling, getting referrals, calling them, and so on until you find what you need.  It's almost always a time-consuming process.  The above list is pretty much set up in the order
of who I call first, then next, etc. Good luck."

Abuse - "I recommend Carolee Malen of Malen and Associates located on Milwaukee Street in downtown Milwaukee. She is really good and does a lot of court testifying. Her area of specialty is abused children and RAD (Re-Attachment Disorder) kids. The parent stays in the room and she uses a form on "holding therapy" during her treatment. It is incrediable how perceptive she is. I try to use her whenever there is a suspicion of abuse."

Sex Abuse - "For sex abuse expert I would recommend strongly, Dr. Marc Wruble, he is both a Professor at the University of Wisconsin of Platteville, manages the Platteville Family Resource Center in Platteville, and he has written extensively in the area of sexual abuse of children. He not shy about doing forensic work or about testifying. There is also the Psychology Center in Madison, and Dr. Beverly Bliss and Dr. Ronald May, and out in Richland Center is Beth Huebner of Huebner and Associates.all of these are exceptional evaluators. My strongest recommendation must be Wruble."
