| Psychiatrists |
|
Psychiatrists are medical doctors who have extensive
additional training in the problems of children and
family systems. Learning issues or problems are viewed
from a developmental perspective and are often found
in tandem with psychiatric/psychological problems. The
psychiatric evaluation involves a history of the child
and family, including extended family. The history focuses
on medical data, the longitudinal developmental data,
and the interface between development of child and adults
and the dynamic of that interface. Genetic factors,
school history, psychological reports, teacher notes,
and parental observation are all important aspects of
the evaluation process. Psychiatrists can prescribe
medication as part of the treatment plan.
Specific Questions:
- Could you describe your general approach to therapy?
- Will the family be required to participate in the
therapy?
- Will you meet my child's teachers and observe him
in the classroom and other settings? Is there a charge
for these services?
- How do you determine whether medication will help
my child?
- Will you spell out for us as specifically as possible
the problems or areas that you are addressing in treatment?
Will you define treatment goals?
