[QUOTE="klmno, post: 345557, member: 3699"] He does sound like a great psychiatrist- not only is he staying focused on the problem/solution and not blaming you, he sounds very good with kt AND his approach encourages her to trust you, which I would imagine she needs reinforcement when it comes to trusting any adult. You've got a keeper there! difficult child's psychiatrist was pretty good, but not as good as the one you described- his appts were too short to get into much. But I remember when I told him the court's solution to all difficult child's problems- the in-home therapist to put difficult child on a behavior contract. (Now I'm not saying those can't be useful in some situations, but it seemed unlikely to the profs in my son's life, who knew his underlying problems, that this was going to get to the root of much.) Anyway, when I told psychiatrist that it was leading to a contract for difficult child and me that was based on me cooking meals he liked a lot more often and him not breaking the law, psychiatrist rolled his eyes and chuckled and said, "what you cook for dinner did not cause this problem, and what you cook for dinner will not solve this problem." That is such a simple statement but I remember it often because it reminds me to asked myself that question when I'm dealing with a difficult child issue and proposed "solution". (ie, "Did ABC cause any part of the problem? Will changing XYZ likely solve any part of the problem?") [/QUOTE]
