[QUOTE="klmno, post: 446240, member: 3699"] I agree- and did they ever follow up and find anything on the boy in OR (I think)- Kyron?? And maybe some of the psychs- Dr. Drew??- could use the CMA case to talk about what more can be offered to parents of difficult children, instead of just assuming it's bad parenting- could they possibly see that [I]just maybe[/I] the kid is wired differently and typical rewards and consequences won't cut it? Or maybe they could go back and delve into working with extremely dysfunctional families' tendencies. It seems like MH profs used to understand that and be able to deal with that. Tdocs I ran across when trying to get help for and with difficult child just looked at me befuddled- like I was speaking Greek- if I even mentioned that sort of thing. The psychiatric who gave me my evaluation said that was because "new" tdocs these days are being taught "it's easier to just give medications to patients and talk about behavior in therapy". Well, that doesn't seem to be very effective to me. That's not to insinuate that some people don't really need medications, but let's face it, they can only do so muchwhen you're dealing with certain types of difficult child'ness. [/QUOTE]
