[quote=Anonymous]Our child was in talk therapy for some time and it just wasn't working that well other than to provide a calm part of the day to talk to another adult. The child did start blaming other people for their problems as a result including teachers, coaches, etc. We'd spend most of the time talking to the therapist about issues she didn't see while my child waited outside. Once the neuropsych came back recommending skill based therapy, we were able to get the therapist to change tactics and now the therapy is going so much better. My child is regularly practicing the skills learned and reflecting on them and we are in the process of giving praise when those skills are being used. It's just so much more effective for both parties. There is so much information available to parents these days on how to help their child that a parent only needs therapist one on one for a specific situations. A CBT session for a child should really be 75% of the time in skill based learning and reflecting of the child and 25% in a group discussion with the child and parent.[/quote]
