Yes. My son has. He told him that sometimes he felt like a teepee, and sometimes he felt like a wigwam. The psychologist told him he was "two tents."

Back during my nightmare days when they took my son away, they did a lot of counseling sessions with him and I was neither aware of them nor able to attend.  I didn't detect any changes in him but they sure tore me a new on in court..........

When our daughter first contracted multiple sclerosis unbeknown to us the frontal lobes of her brain were collapsing.Her behavior & attitude to things changed dramatically & it seemed that overnight this was not our Susan anymore. We were devastated.A case worker for the MS society suggested a psychologist be consulted to try to adjust this behavior.Unfortunately it was a total failure.In fact he was so far off in his judgement of things it made me quite angry at the time.Of course she was not a child.She was 26 then.Now she is approaching 43.There is nothing any psychologist can do for her.

It depends on the psychologist, their methodology and training... You would be best to find a highly rated one with a search online.  Sometimes when one is recommended that doesn't necessarily mean that they are respected among their piers. Hope this helps a little?

I answered this under your Church going Christians question.

For those who see this and not the other site as regards Pyschologists. they only study human behaviour, a Psyhchiatrist on the other hand TREATS human behaviour and mental illness.

One thing to remember is mental illnes is just that, illness.

There is not the stigma attached as in the days of straight jackets and shock treatment.

Why would a GP recommend a psychologist if he/she did respect him/her? I’m not even sure how to search online for a doctor. I think you have to pay. I will check it out, of course. Thanks, leeroy.
