You've been watching too much Babylon 5. I'm with the Vorlons -- conflict may promote growth, but it's not a healthy way to do so.
The social workers I have encountered have been idiots, not pathological liars. I've found it's the structure they work within (and their pen-pusher mentality which means they can *never* look outside of it) which has caused me problems in the past. If we want to criticize social workers, we need evidence, like specific cases -- and we also need to present the wider picture.
