[QUOTE="BeyondWeary, post: 358796, member: 8825"] The Residential Treatment Center (RTC) believes he is a "new" boy. They have him convinced. They say that since he doesn't have rages at Residential Treatment Center (RTC) and is showing coping skills there that he is a "new boy". husband and I met with his counsellor yesterday and she said that he is not clinically depressed and was wanting to show me the description of clinical depression in her diagnosis book! My husband and I are going to schedule an inperson meeting with his psychiatrist next week to discuss this because he is crying ALOT there. We know this because when we call and talk to him he has been crying. When we pick him up on pass he cries. The counsellor and I are reading the book The Explosive Child that was recommended on this forum to begin looking at ways that he is frustrated at home. We told her that this "new boy" is still demonstrating very domineering behavior on pass at home, and that he went into a rage and beat himself with his fists and said he wanted to kill himself. I told her that he may have learned some coping skills, but[B] his input processing and irrational thinking and lack of communication is the problem[/B]. He can't be taught coping skills without a good foundation of cognitive problem solving skills. DUH I asked her if he has a book or something to begin teaching him these cognitive problem skills. DUH She pulled out a workbook on it. I said please begin intensive training with him immediately. DUH. I can't stand these counsellors. They are so blind. [/QUOTE]
