ABSTRACT

Due to two runaway attempts, Kelly, a fifteen-year-old girl, was living with her older sister and brother-in-law. In session one, the following argument occurred. “You don't know how I feel about him!” screamed Kelly to her sister, Kate, when told that she couldn't see her boyfriend. “First of all, ” replied Kate, “he smokes pot, drinks, has no job, and is a high school dropout. Second of all, you have told so many lies and have snuck out of the house twice such that my husband and I can't trust you. We have zero trust right now and that's our problem!”
