Bill feels obligated to support his mother and siblings and gives his mother most of his money from  dealing drugs. He is angry he has to support his family and he partially blames his mother for feeling  forced to sell drugs and now being addicted to cocaine. “I did not expect to also get addicted to cocaine.  I was just gonna sell it for money. I usually only drink and smoke marijuana. So now I have no bail  money, nowhere to stay since my mother kicked me out, no career, and now no car. I had a promising  life at one point….”    Scenario #3    Anna is a 17‐year‐old Latina female who is the middle child of three siblings, 13, 17, and 19.  Anna lives  in a very patriarchal religious family system where her father makes all the decisions for the house, her  mother, and her two brothers. At an early age, the client experienced sexual trauma by the abuse of her  uncle. The sexual abuse occurred from the age of six until she was nine years old. She tried to tell her  father and he slapped her, called her a “slut,” and told her to never speak of such topics again. Her  mother said she supported her but would not stand up to her father and get her the help she needed.     Anna’s father has stated that “no one in this family goes to counseling!” Anna watched her mother  being physically and emotionally abused by her father. Her mother refused to get a divorce because it  was against their religious beliefs.     Anna learned a distorted view of how women should be treated by watching her mother suffer as a  victim of her father. She reports being alienated from her family and snuck out of the house frequently  and also stayed after school as long as she could every day. At the age of 12, Anna began having sex with  her 16‐year‐old boyfriend and she started drinking every weekend.     Anna started bringing vodka to school in water bottles. She found if she drank at school and shared with  friends she was in the “cool crowd.” She did not get any healthy attention from the adults in her life and  was looking for connection in any way she could find it.     Anna reported that she didn’t always want to drink or do drugs, but didn’t want to be viewed as a  “baby.”  She is now in 12th grade, and was caught drinking and smoking marijuana at her high school by  the school resource officer for the fourth time this school year. She was arrested and brought to juvenile  detention. She is terrified of her father’s reaction and response.        Scenario #4    Joe is a 62‐year‐old homosexual white male being assessed for alcohol dependence after being admitted  for detox at the local treatment center. He reports a long history of drinking, which began when he was  16 years old. He has a career as a professor of biology at the college in his town, can support a nice  lifestyle, and has a few close friends.  He did not “announce” he was homosexual officially until both of  his parents passed away when he was 50 years old. Joe was an only child from a religious small town— growing up in an era that had no tolerance and compassion for different types of families. His family  system also condemned lifestyles different than theirs and his parents never understood why he was  “single.”

Joe had a secret life partner from the age of 25 to 45. His life partner died from AIDS in the mid‐80s  before there were successful anti‐viral medications and other resources. He had to lead a private,  secluded life and had to grieve the death of his life partner in silence because no one knew he was gay  due to his fear of prejudice from his upbringing. Joe led a very lonely life, not being able to be himself at  work or with his family due to fear of ridicule and bias.      Joe’s alcohol abuse increased significantly after the death of his life partner and his parents a few years  later. He reports drinking alone every evening until he passes out watching television. He no longer  participates in activities in his department at the college or with the few friends he has. He reports going  to work, drinking all night, passing out, and doing it all over again the next day. Joe does not believe he  has much left to live for. He reports being lonely and has lived through everything he wants to  experience. He is seeking treatment because he states “if I have to live, I don’t want to feel this bad.”
