March 15, 2013 Page 3 of 3 PCN-521 Topic 5: Vargas Case Study The Vargas family arrives to their 5th session together and on time. As a follow-up to last week’s focus on the family structure, you decide to consider a strategic approach this week. To check in, you invite them to share any feedback from last week’s session. Bob reports that he apologized to Elizabeth for “mishandling the suspension thing” then complains that Elizabeth is still “holding a grudge.” He admits that he often does not understand why she gets so upset and that he wants her to be happy. Elizabeth acknowledges that the apology “is a start” and suggests that the reason Bob doesn’t understand is that he “doesn’t ever listen” to her. Bob tells Elizabeth that he listens, but gets frustrated because he doesn’t know how to “fix it.” You notice Frank and Heidi sitting together, quietly looking at a book while their parents talk. You inquire about any noticeable changes made during the week. Both parents claim to have made an effort to avoid raising his/her voice and report being pleased with their conduct. When asked about the children, Elizabeth reports noticing improvement. Bob, however, expresses frustration with Frank’s constant need of redirection and numerous reminders to complete his chores. Bob also noted an increase in Heidi’s demands for attention. © 2016. Grand Canyon University. All Rights Reserved.

VARGAS FAMILY CASE STUDY2
Therapist: Ah , Okay, so what is better since last the session?
Elizabeth: Geof, nearly overdosed
Therapist: Okay (turning to Bob) so what is better?
Bob: To the contrary nothing. I very surprised to learn that Geof is using drugs
Therapist: so you had never noticed any behavioral change from him?
Bob: I haven’t. I always know him as a cool guy.
Therapist: (turning to Tim) what is better?
Tim: Nothing. We noticed a change in the behavior of Geof. For all along, we have attributed the
poor mood, dullness, and decline in class performance to his father’s death. However, I was
informed of his use of the drug and I was like what?
Therapist: (Turning to Linda) what is better?
Linda: nothing, I am worried of Geof. He has been behaving strangely of late and this worries
me a lot. He is always mood less and at times aggressive. I have thought that this is due to the
heavy loss he suffered. Losing a father is a traumatic experience.
Therapist: (Turning to Katie) what is better?
Katie: Geof is using drugs
Therapist: (turning to Geof) what has been better for you?
Geof: Nothing at all. Everything is annoying and makes me sick
Therapist: (Turning to Elizabeth)so you said, Geof nearly overdosed. How did it happen...
