Re: Australian KO specialists?

[Guest guest]

Edith and list,

That's two of us in different locations, Melbourne, Auss. and Birmingham, Al

asking for help in finding a therapist that understands issues of KO's. Does

no one have a suggestion? again

When I looked for a therapist, I happened to find a Jungian analyst

who is also a Pediatrician. He understands KO issues because of his

experiences working with children. That is why he chose to study at

the Jung Institute.

He told me how he deals with constipation in children. He prescribes

a very mild laxative, essentially a placebo. The mother thinks

something has been done and gets off the kid's case. Then the

constipation eases up, because it was caused by the mother's

controlling behavior. My mother was too clever to fall for that kind

of thing, though.

Hi Dan,

Ah, now your therapist is clever! I can respect that.

Sorry I didn't reply earlier. I've been busy with baby, and organising

moving house, and I'd completely missed this reply at the time.

I don't think I can find a KO specialist around here so maybe a

Jungian is the way to go. How did you find your's?
