ABSTRACT
“I couldn't believe it,” Rhonda said in her supervision session. “I've been working individually with David for six weeks now, but he seemed like a different kid when I finally got his mother to come to a session. When we're alone, he usually tells me what's going on and how he's working on staying straight and about school and things like that. But when his mother came in, he wouldn't look at either of us, he wouldn't talk, he wouldn't do anything. When his mother started to talk about how worried she was about his grades, he said he was tired of listening to her bitch, and he got up and walked right out of the session. He'd never acted like that when I met with him alone. I tried to tell his mother how much better I thought he was doing, but she just said he was lying to me and that nothing had changed. And they're coming back next week. What am I going to do?”
