[QUOTE="trinityroyal, post: 362361, member: 3907"] difficult child has been in therapy since he was about 5. For the most part, the only thing it did for difficult child was to teach him the code words, allowing him to become very good at manipulating therapists, teachers and others. In the last 3 years, difficult child has been seeing a forensic psychiatrist who is simply brilliant. He specializes in multiple diagnoses and complex cases, sees through ALL of difficult child's bs and discusses the bs in front of difficult child, so that he knows he's been caught out without a direct head-on confrontation, and he has been able to work with difficult child's medications to the point that we've found something that works. That said, difficult child participates and progresses in therapy only because he's supervised 24/7 at the Residential Treatment Center (RTC). The moment he's given any freedom to stop doing things the "official" way, he regresses right to square one, as though he's never spent even a minute receiving interventions. I think it really does depend on the person. [/QUOTE]
