Brief Answer:
A step by step systematic approach needs to be taken
Detailed Answer:
Hi,
I have gone carefully through your query and understand your concerns. Let me tell you that such issues need a proper perception of the problem so that appropriate coping mechanisms can be developed. This can be done by taking her to a psychological counsellor. The psychologist may undertake psychotherapy or counselling to get a concrete grasp of the roots of the emotional instability and depending upon the scenario will be able to administer cognitive behavioral therapy to help in its resolution. You have rightly pointed out that the story in case of each individual is different and so are their fears and apprehensions. They therefore need an individualized treatment plan.
I understand that your wife is becoming unstable as a result of the behavioral aspects of your daughter. In such a case it would be best to go for a family counselling apart from the one to one sessions for your daughter.
Hope I have answered your query.
Regards,
Dr. Diptanshu Das
