[QUOTE="klmno, post: 191650, member: 3699"] No, Linda, that hasn't happened. Probably because the intern has never actually met difficult child yet. The psychiatrist was the one who lead difficult child's MDE last year and then I consulted with her several mos. ago. She, of course, has met difficult child because he was there both times. We had discussed switching from regular psychiatrist to her if we got counseling through this place. I do recall specifically asking her though, when she said she had a male therapist available but he would be an intern, if someone would be available periodically to provide more insight or somewhat monitor how things were going, since it was an intern. She said "yes" to that. I'm glad you brought that up! (Posted by SW) This is sticking out in my mind- the clinical publications must not be on the same track as what parents resources are stating. Which might explain everything- and that I keep wondering why my counselor- 20-some years ago was such a good fit but I can't find one now that I even feel understands anything. My counselor had a similar situation in her family as I had in mine, she delved into learning everything she could about that type of problem, [I]then[/I] became a counselor who specialized in it.
