[QUOTE="klmno, post: 191875, member: 3699"] This might be a stupid question, but is it safe to assume that a psychiatrist can do the various types of therapy- like cognitive? And, how did you find a psychiatrist who would do it? Did you just call places and ask? The psychiatrist who I've been referring to (not the regular psychiatrist that difficult child sees) would do it, I think. But, even though she's an expert in this field, English isn't her first language and difficult child has said it is difficult for him to understand her, also it's a teaching place so there's always at least one more person in the room- that was fine for a MDE and a consultation and probably even regular psychiatrist appts- but not for personal therapy. But the biggest issue- difficult child's big underlying problems (we all think) are related to his father never seeing him and difficult child trying to find his masculinity in spite of it without becoming a true loser, so to speak. I can't see difficult child ever discussing these things with a female, except the little bit that he discloses to me. The BiPolar (BP) issues (strategies, coping skills, etc)- I don't think he would mind so much if it was a male or female. But- there is an "overlap" between these two areas, of course. [/QUOTE]
