Casenote scenario
■ Mary, 14 years old and her mother come in together to discuss
Mary's written narrative that she's been working on for 3
sessions telling the story of her sexual abuse that occurred
when she was 8 years old. Mary reads her story and cries
while reading it. Mom cries and Mary then comforts mom,
which makes mom cry even harder. You, the therapist remind
mom of your prior discussion emphasizing the importance of
being supportive to Mary. Mom recovers and begins to listen
carefully and respond with reflective comments to Mary.
Mary finishes and says she feels relieved. Mom looks to you
with eyes indicating there is something she needs or has to
say. Once you've wrapped up with Mary you ask her to wait
in the lobby while you finish with mom. Mom cries and talks
about her own guilt and sexual abuse when she was a child.View entire presentation
