2) List five questions you would ask this client to gain more clarity about her case.

Carla, aged 12, is an only child whose parents brought her for treatment because she has not been sleeping recently and is persistently tearful. She has been seen by the family doctor and the school counselor, and it was her teacher who suggested the referral to your service. Her developmental history is relatively normal. She has always had a good relationship with both parents. Her parents take her viewpoint seriously but have clear rules about homework, house chores and pocket money. She also has a few very close friends and plays hockey for the school team. Carla is a determined student and does very well at school. The main problems in her life center on her mother’s illness. Her mother has been repeatedly hospitalized for depression since Carla was born. During these hospitalizations Carla normally stays with her grandmother. In the 2 years prior to the referral the grandmother developed dementia, and 3 months ago she moved into a residential center. Shortly afterwards, Carla’s mother was hospitalized and Carla was cared for by a live-in au pair. Carla’s father is very worried about her and has tried to cut down on the amount of time he spends at work. He is a supervisor in a factory and works a shift-work schedule where he is on nights 1 week out of 3. Carla’s father has been trying to follow the family doctor’s advice of cheering her up by taking her out more and avoiding talking about the mother’s depression or the grandmother’s dementia. However, the school counsellor has advised that he should spend more time at home talking with her about the sadness she feels about her mother’s and grandmother’s problems.
