[QUOTE="Estherfromjerusalem, post: 437145, member: 77"] I think that approach is disgusting from a professional. How dare she say that! If you think my reaction is extreme, here is the reason: My difficult child had already been diagnosed with ODD, and we were trying to deal with the encopresis, and we got to the psychological clinic at an extremely good hospital here in Jerusalem. This psychologist was young enough to be our daughter. She insisted on not only having sessions with difficult child, but also separate sessions with me, and occasionally with my husband. She started accusing my husband and me of causing difficult child's encopresis because our relationship with one another was not good. Duh? Excuse me? This "child" wanted to give us marital therapy because our child had encopresis!! At that point, I didn't say a word, I just didn't fix any more appointments, and that was that. Oh, and difficult child said he didn't want to cooperate with her any more. I still get furious whenever I remember that, and what you have written brought it back to me. In my opinion -- don't take the blindest bit of notice of what this therapist says. After all, a therapist is just a person like you and me, she is not omniscient and she/he is quite fallible and quite capable of coming to the completely wrong conclusion, which is obviously the case with you. Excuse the vent. Love, Esther [/QUOTE]
