Frequently Ask Questions
Treatment begins with an evaluation to gain knowledge of the child and their parent’s concerns so that we can figure out how best to help. For young children and adolescents, this involves time with parent and child together, time alone with children if parents agree.
Before visiting a psychiatrist, first you must tell your child about what a psychiatrist does. It would be best if you talked positively with the child that your child can understand. You should tell your child their psychiatrist’s name and what a psychiatrist does. It is also helpful to let them know what happens in counselling and reassure them that they won’t have to do say or do anything they don’t want to.
As with any therapy or counselling, it is difficult to determine the exact time it will take to resolve the problem. It depends upon the child and problem because a complex problem may take more time. At Jain Neuropsychiatry Clinic, we are committed to providing comprehensive counseling until all problems are resolved.
The goal of parent-child psychotherapy is to strengthen the bond between child and parents in order to restore a child’s sense of attachment, safety, and behavior; consecutively improving the child’s social, cognitive and behavioural functioning.
