These psychologists have this scam that they call the "intake interview". I knew already that I wanted a "Neuro-psycho-educational evaluation" and I told that to her, but she insisted that she needed to meet the parents first for the "intake interview". We sat in the couch and we repeated the story to her. She didn't say anything usefull, she just said that she recommended the fucking "Neuro-psycho-educational evaluation" (which I already knew) and nothing else.
I was expecting some positive closing statement from her, some quote that would let me feel that the intake interview was worth something, that she will be the guide I was looking for and she would shed some light. But she didn't. She didn't say anything new or useful or that could onfort me or give me some new insight, nor she explained any details about the "magic tests" that she would run.
She just handed in a questionaire (the so called "Achenbach child behavior Checklist") and explained how much the "evaluation" would cost. It was about the same four figures the first psychologist wanted to charge ($100 more expensive). Of course, this figure was on top of the three figures she had already charged for the "intake interview".
