[QUOTE="klmno, post: 191903, member: 3699"] Thanks, Susie! That means a lot to me! I;ve been reading on the juvenile BiPolar (BP) forum for a break and now I'm going to go to bed! by the way- difficult child didn't want to go through this intial process with todoc. difficult child says he's tired of the meetings where all that happens is review history, diagnosis, etc. I can't blame him! And, we were still seeing another one- the one who spent 4 mos alternating between asking diagnosis and goals and promising he could help- until 2 weeks ago (right before we went on vacation). So, for insurance payment purposes, I can't take difficult child to more than one therapist in one week. I kept that one going hoping he would actually get to the point (or SOME point) while I checked out this intern. If he'd gotten somewhere, I could have quit pursuing the intern. Anyway, I think a lot of it has to do with what they are familiar with and I'm just not looking for it. They have told me (several of them, not all) that in almost all cases, parents are coming in asking for behavior modification. So, that is what they're used to doing. I'm waffling a lot about this intern- I would like to see if we can get the psychiatrist more involved and maybe use both. For one thing, the intern said "has anyone given difficult child psychoeducation to explain to him about BiPolar (BP) more in depth than what the psychiatrist and I explained"- NO- "has anyone worked with difficult child on stress reduction" - NO- "has anyone worked with difficult child on relaxation techniques" - NO. So, I think he understands some of my frustrations. Just not the "buzz words" he said that made me doubt how much he really understood and what kind of attitude did he really have underneath it all. Anyway- thanks a lot for your support. And that psychiatrist you said was messing with teens at the psychiatric hospital- what a perv- I hope he ended up getting his due and that the girls came out allright. That is disgusting. [/QUOTE]
