Question 3.
Hi Miranda,
I can see from your narrative you have very difficult choices. I thought I would share some of my ideas about Question 3, the values and assumptions you had about Jessie and his mom during the group. I think that because Jessie demonstrated more control in your initial interview, you may have assumed mom had more knowledge of how to control Jessie. From your description, I feel maybe mom probably knew she did not have control, and wanted the group session to learn more about controlling Jessie’s behaviour. I think for Mom it was more than just getting him to do homework and chores.
Also, I think that maybe that your assumption that Jessie’s behaviour could be controlled with the ‘sticker reward system’ may have
