THIS IS "EXHIBIT 6." ==================================================================== The following plan is based on the evaluation done on [girl] and [boy] [last name] as well as their parents and the situation within their families. Based on the observations of the evaluators, it is apparent that [girl] and [boy] each have their own issues and areas of stress related to their family situation. It would be beneficial for them to be able to address these problems in a way that leads to stability and positive problem solving skills. The first thing that would have to be addressed is the additional stress caused by an enforcement of counselling that will not be approved of by one parent or the other. It is necessary for the children to acquire skills to deal with each parent through understanding the dynamics involved via drills, role-playing, etc. If this is not handled first the hope for any long lasting gain by the children is very minimal. Although there are issues that are separate and individual for [boy] and [girl], there are several areas that they have in common to deal with. These seem to involve communications skills, expressing thoughts and ideas without fear of repercussions and the ability to take and express their true feelings about what is happening in their lives. It is apparent that each child has evolved a set of solutions for their problems that do work for them in the present, but the underlying upsets that have led them to these solutions would be addressed so that current workable solutions don't become the only problem solving skills of the future. [boy] needs to address his upset about his Dad's illness and fears of loss connected to this. He also would benefit from addressing the area of taking responsibility so that what he can sanely choose to be responsible and not use this to hide from his fears and anxieties. He needs to learn how to make a decision for himself so he can gain a sense of true control of his life. He needs to learn how to align all the areras of his life and regain stability and causation. Taking a look at his problems with family members and how he can solve them and the ability to judge the future repercussions of his solutions would take him a long way in this. [girl] needs help in the area of communication with family members. She needs to learn that her communication is valid and that it is OK to take a stand. It would greatly benefit [girl] to look at and gain her own understanding of the situation and for her to work on implementing her own solutions for the things that are problems for her. Enabling her to find the things that are barriers to her communicating would be beneficial. She needs to directly address the issue of the divorce and its effect in her life as well as upsets over her father's physical condition. Both children should learn how to balance their own needs with the needs of the family unit. [boy] is the best older brother anyone could hope for and this should be validated and his willingness to assume responsibility is to be admired. [girl]'s willingness to be a peacekeeper is also admirable, in fact these are remarkable solutions, but for both the children the negative feelings and the lack of dealing with the issues that underlie these if addressed with counselling would alleviate a lot of problems and result in quite a bit of relief for [boy] and [girl]. The technology of Dianetics and Scientology is uniquely suited to cases such as these. One of the basic elements of the technology is no evaluation of incidents is allowed by anyone but the subject receiving the counselling. This empowers the individual. This is exactly what is needed by [boy] and [girl] -- the power to observe, decide and act in rational and productive ways, no longer based on past upsets. Because the velocity of life can often be overwhelming, the counselling of Scientology is always done intensively. This enables us to stably resolve situations and helps them to "stay fixed" once addressed. One usually receives 3 or more sessions each week for a number of weeks, until the individual feels that he has handled and resolved all areas of difficulty he desires to address. So rather that 1 hour per week for a year or more, an individual would receive 25 to 30 hours in one month or less. This has proven to be most effective. We do not believe in any use of drugs or medication as these inhibit and ultimately harm. I feel that [boy] and [girl] can surely benefit from the application of the technology of Scientology.
