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...
