you are the family therapist. The scenario depicted below is
based on a real-life therapy case. The names and major
identifying factors have been altered.
Andy, a 16-year-old girl just returned from a 2-month stay at a
residential facility in Utah. Her counselor referred her to YOU.
During your first session, Andy and her mother, Jane, were
present. Arnold, her father was to attend but was busy at work
and didn't make it. During the session the mother and daughter
sat next to one another and were even arm in arm at times. They
reviewed the situation prior to her going to the facility.
Basically, Andy was out of control and belligerent. She was
critical of both parents and they realized they couldn't manage
her and needed to get some relief from the conflict.
Andy presents as a normal teenager, but she was obviously quite
sensitive, reactive to her mother, and frequently felt controlled
by her mother. Andy was adopted. She is not Jane and Arnold's
natural daughter. She is actually a niece. Her father, Arnold had
a sister who was a drug abusing stripper, and gave birth to Andy
when she was 20. Jane and Arnold raised and finally adopted
Andy. Andy has never had contact with her birth mother. She is
extremely angry about this.
Both Jane and Arnold are the adult children of alcoholics
(ACOAs). Jane's father was a WWII vet and was disabled most
of his life. His problems mainly consisted of mental issues and
alcoholism. Ultimately he committed suicide. At times Jane
would describe her childhood as great. At other times she would
note frequent beatings and abuse. Arnold's alcoholic father died
when he was only 8 years old.
Both Jane and Arnold are very successful professionally and
they are open to therapy to help their daughter. They have been
married for 29 years.
Based on the above case description, answer the following:
What other information would you like to know to move
forward with the case?
What long-term approach or techniques would you employ in
this case?
Based on the information available what would be your short
term goals?
Based on the information available what would be your long
term goals?
