[QUOTE="meowbunny, post: 92250, member: 3626"] Well, I'm sure if my daughter had had a visit with therapist who frustrated her, she would have dented the door, smashed the headlights and prayed it was a convertible so she could do more damage! She would also have been quite proud of doing it and blamed the psychiatrist for her actions -- "she made me mad and made me do it!" However, she would have had to know whose car she was damaging. There is no way she would have deliberatedly damaged a car without being positive it was the right one (fairness IS important, you know!). Once she hit 14, there was no way I could get her to a therapist, psychiatrist or the like. I was lucky I could get her to see the dentist annually and you could forget physical checkups unless she needed it for an activity. While she was at her Residential Treatment Facility (RTF), she still refused to talk to the therapist the entire time she was there. She would sit there, answer his questions in a monosyllabic monotone. Absolutely useless besides for hearing she was the most stubborn child he had ever dealt with. Personally, I think a good therapist is going anger and frustrate a teen. It is frequently the only way to get honest responses, but not on the first visit. Trust has to be established first. I think it is time for this psychiatrist to see a therapist. Every patient likes her? If so, she's not doing her job very well, unless she is a psychiatrist and simply doling out medications. Accuses without proof? Sorry, this lady is an idiot to the nth degree. So, another vote for finding someone new. As to the damage claims, let her call the police, I'm sure they could use a good chuckle. Oh, and welcome! [/QUOTE]
