For what psychologist consultation is needed?

Psychology is a science that studies the principles of harmonious development of humans, the quality of their relationships with other people in different situations of life, emotionality, and the like. And the psychologist is a "healer of the soul", as stated before. His/her key role is to implement programs, methods and techniques for the detection of already studied disorders of emotional development and their regulation. That is why the Psychologist consultation at the Center for Brain Stimulation is often recommended not only for adults, but also for children and adolescents for behavioral correction, rehabilitation or treatment of various intellectual development disorders.

At the psychological sessions with the child, the psychologist often engages the parents' resources as well, explaining and regulating their behavior and attitude towards the problem in a certain way, teaching communication with the child in order to minimize signs of disorders and form a healthy psycho-emotional background in the family. Knowledge of child psychology is very necessary for parents because most of the time the child spends at home with family. At home he/she gets prerequisites and attitudes in education, there he/she learns the limits of acceptable and unacceptable behavior, and he/she learns to deal with the surrounding world. Psychologist consultation helps parents and relatives of the child to correctly form an atmosphere of mutual understanding in the family. And it gives the children new skills for interacting with adults and expressing themselves.

Psychology and its methods help parents and relatives of the child in following cases:

• Existence of unresolved questions of child guidance.
• It is a need to prepare the child for kindergarten or school.
• It is necessary to transfer to another school, sports club, etc.
• There are problems before coming divorce.
• There are questions before remarriage.
• Parents and relatives are experiencing emotional exhaustion caused by the child's illness or behavior.
• The child experienced psychologically traumatic events (psychological or physical violence).

What to do before the Pediatric Psychologist consultation?

It’s better to make a list of questions that you would like to ask the specialist before visiting a psychologist. Before making the list, you should think about how long ago the problem you are interested in arose and under what circumstances it most often manifests itself.

In case of the existence of disorders of the nervous system or mental health that affect a child's development and normal psycho-emotional state, the specialists may ask you to see the results of diagnostic tests. If necessary, a consultation with a child neurologist or psychiatrist can be obtained from the experienced specialists of the Center for Brain Stimulation.

If parents agree to work and do certain homework, the Pediatric Psychologist can recommend that they do some exercises at home and report on the results. The specialist's recommendations should be followed when performing such assignments.

During consultation with a psychologist, parents or accompanying persons are assigned the role of observer during communication between the child and the specialist. Such an approach will help to receive the clearest possible picture of the existing problem and to find the correct solution for its elimination. If necessary, the psychologist will ask for interaction with the child in order to obtain a certain result.

How does the consultation undergo?

The first consultation with a Pediatric Psychologist should be conducted in a certified medical center. Such a center in the capital of Ukraine is CBS. At this Center the interaction between the specialist and the patient takes place at the cabinet, the interior of which helps the child to feel comfortable.

When communicating with young children, the psychologist uses techniques that can be conducted in game form. For communicating with older children, age-appropriate and interest-appropriate methods are chosen. Such an approach sets the patient up for a positive result of the consultation.

Psychologist consultation lasts at least 1-1.5 hours. After the first visit, the specialist can see psychological disorders or psychological problems. On the basis of the data obtained after psychological assessment, he gives an opinion and also makes a plan for subsequent sessions in order to achieve a positive result of therapy.

The psychological help provided at the Center for Brain Stimulation helps eliminate problems that arise in communication with exceptional children, establish a positive atmosphere in the family, helps relatives to accept the problem, as well as holds a promise for significant improvement of the child's condition.
