Do internal processes and emotions of parents affect how they describe their kids' mental challenges on the Strength and Difficulties Questionnaire?

Health care professionals need to be honest with us about their own problems and acknowledge that change is difficult for everyone. They need to take a closer look at our desire to "recover" and stop spreading the lie that they and the individuals they deal with are very different from one another. Support then turns into a really reciprocal phenomenon, where the partnership itself serves as a foundation for both parties to feel encouraged to push themselves. The partnership fosters the desire to change rather than imposing one person's agenda on another.
