All things being equal, a therapist with eight hours to work with your daughter is eight times more qualified to diagnose than the psychiatrist, and I would give her conclusions more weight. Also, if the psychiatrist does not want to be a team, I would go for a second opinion, or at least report all of this to her therapist for some assistance resolving the discrepancy and impasse. It's important the two providers maintain some contact.
