[quote=Anonymous]I agree with a psychiatrist as soon as possible. If you have other children especially you may have to consider a residential treatment center. I consider this very drastic. However, if he cannot meet goals for behavior--and I would be very concrete here--this may be what you need to do, particularly for the well being of siblings. I like the PP's approach--if you don't consistently do x, y, and z in the next three months, we will have to do an RTC. I understand that your options in this regard could be very limited depending upon what the medical condition is--RTCs do NOT do medical conditions well. Agree a good CBT or DBT program could be helpful. For yourself and your DH, I highly recommend learning validation techniques. These were developed for family dealing with borderline personality disorder, but they are very, very helpful for dealing with challenging teens. A good book in this regard is "Stop Walking on Eggshells."[/quote]
