Mem. Hosp/or other parital treatment program

[Guest guest]

Hi,

Just trying to figure out if we should try to enter our dd in a

partial program at Memorial Hospital in Wisconsin. Do any of

you have any experience with this kind of a program either in

Wisconsin or elsewhere?

Our daughter is pretty resistant to treatment and her OCD is quite

disruptive. She manages, but doesn't feel any control over it. And

it is very hard on the family.

Last year we switched to a new therapist who is an expert in OCD (but

not as much for young kids) and it worked for a while, but then it

stopped. My daughter became resistant and argued with me the whole

time there. It was kind of far away and she hated his " ugly "

office. So we stopped seeing him because the sessions were totally

unproductive. We were going to go back to her old therapist, who my

daughter likes very much. But she is not an OCD expert. However,

she has an excellent reputation and has read many OCD books and

worked with some patients successfully. I kind of feel like any sort

of support for our daughter at this time would help. But on the

other hand, I feel that the best would be even better. But who is to

say she would work with a new person? She says she isn't ready.

Any suggestions?

Hospital has a partial day treatment program for OCD. I don't

know if it is full, but was wondering if any of you know about these

kind of programs. It is expensive and I would have to know it was a

good bet in order to do it.

Thank you. Have a nice day. Ellen
