David Pitonyak "The largest part of my work involves meeting individuals who are said to exhibit “difficult behaviors.” Most of these individuals exhibit difficult behaviors because they are misunderstood and/or because they are living lives that don’t make sense. Often, they are lonely, powerless, or without joy. Often, they are devalued by others, or they lack the kinds of educational experiences that most of us take for granted. Too often, their troubling behaviors are the result of an illness or even a delayed response to traumatic events."
