| Bob has been practicing for more than thirty-eight years with Psychiatry & Neurology as his specialties. His
sub-specialties are Psychiatry, Child & Adolescent Psychiatry,and Child Psychiatry. When children have to be hospitalized for a psychiatric illness, they feel things are out of control, and the parents feel helpless, says Robert Lobis, MD, medical director of Bader 5. We address those feelings in a few ways. First we work with the family as a whole to define the focal problem, or what well be working on while the child is in the hospital. We make it very clear that were treating the acute reason the patient was admitted to the hospital; offering the front end of a longer program that will take place in an outpatient setting. Then we educate both the patient and parents about the illness and help them draw a distinction between a child who has a problem and a child who is a problem. Finally we work closely with the whole family to design a treatment program that helps them control that problem.
