This is your second session with the Robertsons. Dan appears to be resistant to family counseling; he refuses to accept responsibility for his choices that have caused so many family problems. Dan states, If I have a drug or alcohol problem, its because of them. She wont clean the house and hes failing school. I dont have the problem. They do. Dan leaves the session. Marie states, He expects the house to be clean, but most days I dont even feel like getting out of bed. I just want to sleep. Peter states, Hes always nagging me about the Fs on my report card, but no one helps me with my homework so I dont even try anymore.

How will you engage Marie and Peter even though Dan is not ready to participate?
Explain the nonconstructive behaviors of Dan, Marie, and Peter that contribute to the familys dysfunction.
Identify the appropriate interventions for family recovery.
