Next time, if you didn't already, tell them that it is THEY who are unfamiliar with the scientific literature, and tell them to check out the literature in attachment and social psychology instead of just reading propaganda from Shire Pharmaceuticals. You can add that, if any docs want to argue with you about this, then they should tell you how much time and attention they take evaluating the home situation and not just doing a symptom checklist without even evaluating the clinical significance of patient and parents' reports. If they are not doing an extensive biopsychosocial history and observing the family in action, then they have no business offering any opinion, because it would be completely worthless. David M.
