[QUOTE="DaisyFace, post: 230926, member: 6546"] OK-- Another update: At the therapy appointment today...I asked what kind of testing/evaluations had been done for difficult child at the psychiatric hospital. Turns out that the psychiatrist (Dr. J____), had based his diagnosis of Depression almost entirely on patient interviews in which difficult child had talked about having a bad day at school. During today's session, therapist tried to address some of the violence and aggressive behaviors that I've been worrying about...and finally difficult child admitted to homicidal/suicidal thoughts on a very regular basis, but genuinely seemed to feel that such violent thoughts were, in her words, "no big deal". And when therapist asked about the incident in which difficult child was spooking the horses (which happened since last session), difficult child said that the horses were having fun. She truly seems to lack any sort of empathy and seems very confused as to why everyone has been making such a fuss over these sorts of incidents. In light of today's session...therapist agrees that further testing is required. She said she would make a few calls and see if she could come up with a recommendation for us. therapist also mentioned looking into some kind of "aversion therapy" technique that would help difficult child learn and remember to keep her hands off of other people. {Not sure how that would work...} So I guess I am waiting to hear back for therapist's recommendation....
