A child psychologist?

Is there a specific name for a child psychologist?

Is a rude for a psychologist to interrupt while a patient is talking?

What if, let's say, the patient realizes that s/he is suicidal- Can the psychologist interrupt then to say, "It can't be" or "It could be true.." or something along the lines of that?

Can a psychologist relate to a crying patient or do they remain seldom?

Cana psychologist care for a patient like a sister/daughter/cousin?

    Yep, sometimes they are called child psychologist, and can also be called developmental psychologyists...

    The therapist/psychologist should allow the client to speak, so yes it can be rude, however, if it is appropriate, then interrupting is ok.

    The psychologist should remain empathic...

    It would be unprofessional to treat someone you know in clinical sense, but family members play key roles in the clients support network. So if a psychologist had knew someone who had problems, then they could support them, but it would be considered unprofessional to treat them.
