[QUOTE="smallworld, post: 250730, member: 2423"] Interesting theory. Even when my son didn't behave like an angel -- he was completely shut down and wouldn't answer the therapist's questions -- our parenting was blamed because the therapist believed we weren't setting enough limits with our son. Ha ha. What has worked better for us more recently is to find professionals who will do a thorough evaluation before jumping to conclusions. J's current psychiatrist met with us for an hour first, then J for two different hour-long appointments and then us again before giving us any inkling of what he thought was going on. The psychiatrist then met with J for six more sessions (each an hour long) with us providing weekly, if not daily, email reports of what was going on in the house before deciding to prescribe J's first medication. And never once were we as parents blamed for J's out-of-control manic behavior. In fact, the psychiatrist complimented us for handling a very difficult situation well. [/QUOTE]
