Midori
Midori is a 16-year-old girl referred to you by her school guidance counselor. Midori is
described as a very bright girl who does well in school but who always has been worried
about her looks. The guidance counselor made the referral because Midori’s teacher
reported that Midori appears withdrawn and not herself lately. Midori weighs herself
daily and records every shift in her weight. She also seems extremely conscious of the
food she is eating. Regardless of how many of her family and friends tell her she looks
great, Midori still believes that she needs to lose weight.
Midori’s mom Yvonne calls to make the appointment for therapy. Yvonne was very
pleased about the referral to therapy because she has felt for some time that there have
been problems building with Midori. Yvonne explains that she is very concerned about
Midori. She describes Midori as having been very sweet and cooperative, but now she
is extremely defiant at home. It is a struggle to get her to join the family for meals and to
do any of her assigned chores. Yvonne also feels that Midori walks around with a bad
attitude toward the family all the time. Midori used to be involved in playing team
basketball but recently decided to quit the team.
You find out that Yvonne and her husband Kane both work full-time jobs that are
stressful. Kane is an executive at a local advertising firm, and Yvonne works full time
selling real estate. The family income has been greatly reduced recently due to the
downturn in the real-estate market.
Kane thinks that Yvonne is overreacting and that Midori is a normal 16-year-old girl. He
believes she is going through adolescence. He believes this is a difficult time for kids,
and he thinks that Yvonne needs to accept that Midori is growing up. Midori has a
younger brother, Daniel who is 14 years old and considered the clown of the family.
Midori at times is open to attending counseling and, at others wonders how it can be
helpful. Scheduling the first appointment was challenging, mostly because Yvonne and
Kane have very challenging work schedules. During a conference call with you
regarding scheduling the first appointment, an argument broke out between Yvonne and
Kane about how busy they both are and why the scheduling of the first appointment was
so difficult. Kane appeared frustrated that they would now have the added stress of a
weekly therapy appointment to fit into their lives. He wondered if he needed to attend
the sessions. Yvonne complained about how they are living their lives, and Kane was
frustrated that Yvonne was making a big deal out of things. They finally scheduled the
appointment with you after 20 minutes on the telephone.
