Why do you think treatment thus far hasn't worked?

[QUOTE="trinityroyal, post: 131440, member: 3907"] What an interesting question, Sue. This is a bit of a brain-breaker. In my difficult child's case, his treatment is working to an extent because he has 24/7 sueprvision and support, and someone standing over him all day every day while he does the things he's supposed to do. However, his staff report continuing defiance, lying, stealing etc. If "let off his leash" for even a minute, difficult child reverts to all of his old behaviour as though he hasn't received any interventions at all. He's definitely a tough nut. difficult child's attitude seems to be that someone will always be there to pick him up when he falls, so as a result he makes no effort to catch himself. I know he can do it. I've witnessed him controlling impulses, choosing not to be defiant and following the rules by his own free will and choice many times. Enough times to know that he can do it if he wants to. The trouble is, he doesn't want to. Unless or until he wants to, none of the interventions and programs and medications and therapy that we have put in place for him will make any difference. I am beyond frustrated by difficult child's lack of willingness to participate in his own care. It's hard. [/QUOTE]
