[QUOTE="susiestar, post: 285699, member: 1233"] I hve never had a psychiatrist who would treat me without also having me in therapy. Same for my kids - it was always crucial that we work with a therapist. I remember beign so frustrated when Wiz was little because we couldn't get a therapist to work with him on his level. They didn't understand that he truly thought like a much older child so they pushed and pushed the sticker charts and changes in our parenting rahter than actually talking to him and working with him. I don't think any of the behavior mod worked unless it was combined with a therapist who would work with him, rather than just working iwth us. Isn't it astounding how much people underestimate kids and what they can do and think? Just like SO MANY docs still insist that babies and toddlers don't "really" feel pain. I can remember physically barring an ER doctor from Wiz until he agreed to give some pain medications before fixing the catheter that had slipped. My mom was with me and helped me get through to the doctor. Why is it that so many people rely on just one mode of therapy to treat things, especially with kids? [/QUOTE]
