Case Scenario
Session 1: Maria (mother, 42) and Julie (daughter, 14) come in for a therapy session. Both Maria and Julie fill out therapy paperwork and are in the same case file. Maria states that they are coming to therapy because Julie continues to act out and disobey her parents. Maria has caught Julie sneaking out of the house several times in the last year and when she punishes Julie for this by grounding her Julie just sneaks out again. Maria states that she doesn’t know what to do and just feels like giving up.
During this session you listen and validate the mom. You attempt to establish goals for the session, but mom continues to insist their goal in coming to therapy is to fix her daughter. During session, Julie remains very quiet and states that she does not want to talk with her mother in the room. After the first session, you decide that you will see Julie and Maria separately next session to try to build an alliance with both. Both Julie and Maria agree to this.
Session 2: During the first half of the session, you bring Julie back. Your goal during this time is to build an alliance with Julie to see if you can gather information from her to see what she thinks is going on between her and her mother. Julie begins to open and begins discussing her boyfriend. She states that her boyfriend is who she sneaks out of the house to see because he is the only one who understands. When you ask her to explain further as to why he is the only one who understands she reveals to you that she is 3 months pregnant with his child and she has not told any of her family. Julie states that if her mom found out she would literally kill her. She begs you not to say anything as she is fearful what her parents
