One of my biggest hates in the world is the relatively new concept of management speak. The language where everyone is a client; there is now a difference between core values and vales; everything is now delivered and managers, amongst other things, are now strategic.

The following is a list of words and phrases I jotted down during one of those dreaded training days for a previous employer. Here it goes:

Value Added Service
Best Practice
Holistic Integration
Evidence Based Practice
Pathway Plan
Paradigm
Silo Mentalities
Consistent Messages
Psycho-Pathology
De-brief and De-stress
Misplaced Anger
Containment of That Space
Crossing That Threshold
Monthly Maintenance
Psycho-dynamic Perspective
facilitate Communication
Level of Functioning
Create Environment where one can progress through 'stuck' development
Provide Containment
Unboundried [I think this is a made-up word]
Animal Mode

And my favorite, Enmeshed!

Just one person said all this in a few hours. How I didn't kill myself after listening to this rubbish I will never know.
