[QUOTE="Allan-Matlem, post: 34827, member: 10"] Hi, My personal preference is a therapist who is not a behaviorist. Conduct a telephone interview with potential clinicians to determine if their therapeutic approach is consistent with the type of treatment you want to receive. PTEK recommends that you seek someone whose approach is consistent with the Collaborative Problem Solving model. Thus, the clinician would philosophically believe in the notion that "[B]children do well if they can;[/B]" would view the child's challenging behavior as the byproduct of lacking skills in the domains of flexibility, adaptability, and frustration tolerance; would appreciate the need for a careful assessment to determine the numerous factors and co-morbidity which may be fueling the challenging behavior; would focus treatment on teaching lacking cognitive and emotional skills; and would emphasize proactively preventing problems before they occur and working towards mutually satisfactory solutions to problems underlying the difficult behavior.
