ANyone familiar with NYSPI for treatment of OCD

[Guest guest]

I am wondering if anyone's child has been treated at New YOrk State Psychiatic

Institute for OCD issues. My daughter had been going there for a few months and

I was so very disappointed at the quality of child psychology there. I felt the

psychologist assigned to her had no passion or interest in treating my 10 year

old who hoards garbage. The psychologist could well have been a junior high

school guidance counselor rather than someone qualified to treat OCD/hoarding

issues for all the advice she gave me, such as " mom, you are the mother, you

make the decisions " , WHy do you need a phd in psychology to dish that out? They

were very cold, and I felt that we were treated like laboratory mice rather than

human beings. The psychologist would not respond when I said that perhaps she

needed to actuallly tell my daughter more about herself and break the ice to

begin to form a trusting relationship. It was as though I speaking to inhuman

machines. ANyone else know this institute? I would not recommend for children

with ocd issues at all. They basically said my daughter wouldn't open up because

seh had another therapist she sees who is an MSW, who does no type of CBT work

at all. TO make it my daughter's fault rather than a LACK of sincere passionate

interest on their part is just bad.
