[QUOTE="Lillyth, post: 198988, member: 5975"] It depends on the goal of the therapy. Why is he seeing the therapist in the first place? If you really are concerned that difficult child may become someone who does sexually inappropriate things, and you wanted treatment for that, then you need someone who has experience doing that. I would say that if you are comfortable with this guy, and he can get you the medications you need, or consult with someone who can & you and difficult child are both comfortable with him, then stay with him. But remember that treating a juvenile who does sexually inappropriate things is a VERY specialized field, and if that is what you want him treated for, you need to make sure you go to a person who pretty much [I]only[/I] does that. BTB, most of the people I know who treat sex offenders do NOT prescribe medications. Meaning they are not psychiatrists. So just because someone cannot prescribe medications does not mean they are not the right guy for your difficult child. Raport goes a long way in healing... [/QUOTE]
