[QUOTE="smallworld, post: 74886, member: 2423"] No, it's a whole lot more training (as in years) for a psychiatrist. In general, psychologists tend to focus on behavior and not the underlying cause behind it, which is why you got an ODD diagnosis from a psychologist. ODD is rarely a stand-alone diagnosis; it is generally a set of behaviors that is fueled by an underlying cause such as anxiety, depresison or bipolar disorder. You need to figure out what is fueling your son's ODD behavior so you can put the proper interventions into place. Furthermore, a neuropsychologist has extra training in how the brain functions and does extensive testing (6 to 12 hours) on the cognitive and psychological functioning of the child. Neurospychologists can be found at children's and university teaching hosptials. They can be very helpful in sorting out differential dxes. [/QUOTE]
