PY625 Case #2 Analysis
The Brown Family. A family, Sheila and Roy Brown and their daughter, Heather (age 14), had been seeing Anne, a licensed professional counselor, for about three months. They had sought counseling “to save their marriage and help Heather deal with the conflict in the home.” During that time, Anne had three family sessions and the rest were couple sessions. After the above sessions, she suggested that seeing Sheila and Roy individually for a few sessions might be helpful. She saw them both for three individual sessions but, after his third individual session, Roy decided to no longer participate in counseling. After he terminated, Anne continued to see Sheila alone and sometimes with Heather for a period of four months. She also saw Heather individually for three sessions. During this time, the marriage deteriorated and divorce proceedings were started. A week ago, Anne received a subpoena from Roy’s lawyer to produce all of your records pertaining to Sheila and Heather’s treatment. Sheila has told you not to comply with the subpoena.
