[QUOTE="susiestar, post: 172235, member: 1233"] Well, I had a reply, then my 'puter did something funky and I lost it. Start making appts with other tdocs, while you wait for your next therapist appointment. It may take time to get in to a new therapist, and you don't want to be totally with-o one. Ask the therapist if he can spend the time you PAY for focussed on your difficult child, NOT on his research, heroin Oding patients, or whatever. If yes, give him a few sessions to see if he can. If no, cut him loose. Write a letter to GAL, attorneys, judge, etc... saying you feel difficult child would be better served with a therapist who spent the session working on difficult child's needs and not bragging about the sub abuse patients he sees. Also that you are uncomfortable with the info he gives you on other patients, as he might also breach your son's confidentiality. You want a therapist who will spend the session working with difficult child on difficult child's issues. Then you can cancel other appts with other tdocs if current guy can do what you want, or you can keep them and see who you like. FWIW, the "best" therapist here for teen boys is a total idiot. Told difficult child I was a bi&ch (in front of me!), told him I was way too involvedin his school (asking about homework is a crime apparently, as is answering calls from school about difficult child's issues), told him I should let him do all the pokemon he wanted, and more. all in ONE session. Follow your instincts, but be sure to CYA in regards to the GAL, with things in writing. Hugs! [/QUOTE]
