Consider the following client:
, B.B. Queen. She is married to B.G. Crock
and they have two interspecies adopted
children - Two year old Slow Poke
and seven year old, Woof
. They are experiencing several stressors.
They own their own home but their neighborhood has deteriorated as the spiders
have moved into the neighborhood. They have
started to fight a lot and B.B. has even thrown a bee hive at B.G. on occasion.
Woof has had a rough year in first grade as he appears to be having difficulty
learning his letters
and getting along with his fellow students;
he likes to growl at the other students. B.B. was bringing home a good salary
while B.G. watched Slow Poke, but the Buzzing factory recently shut down to move
its operation oversees, and she is now back in school
to develop a new career. B.G. continues to
stay at home with Slow Poke and get Woof after school, and he works from home as
a medical transcriptionist
after B.B. gets home from school
. They are having trouble meeting their
monthly bills and have recently lost their health insurance, right before Woof
had to be taken to the emergency room because he broke his leg when he tried to
climb over a neighbors fence. They now face several thousand dollars of
additional bills from that. Some weeks they get down to their last penny
. They were driving an old van
with 99,000 miles and two years to pay it off
and the trade in value is less than what they owe on it. It is leaking oil and
they cannot afford to get it fixed so they have to rely on family and friends to
get around. There are no buses
in their rural community. B.B’s father
recently died and her mother, Stinger, just moved in with them, taking the boys
bedroom so they are now sleeping on the floor of their parent’s room
. She is suffering from Alzheimer’s and she
frequently has episodes where she feels she is being attacked by a swarm.
