1) Sample Case Study

Five years ago, Mrs. Miller worked as a High School Counsellor. She called for the staffing of administrators, teachers and parents of John, a brilliant student who had out of nowhere started failing in almost all his lessons. John’s mother has desperately called for help after having almost given up that her son was not paying attention in School. Similarly, John’s teachers had noted the same issues, tried as much as they could to help John but only headed up running out of counseling ideas that could help him. When John's mother finally showed at Mrs. Miller's office, she asked about John's father. A period of silence followed by sobs from John’s mother alerted Mrs. Miller that she had hit a raw nerve. She explained that John's father was a long Haul truck driver and rarely spent time at home. A further inquiry indicated that the father had a poor relationship with the son due to his absenteeism in most of the family time. For instance, ever since John turned 5, his father has never recognized his birthday ion the last five years.

Because there were only a few ideas to motivate John, Mrs. Miller requested that the Principal approves John for an academic field trip. John would be allowed to muss school for one week and travel with his father as part of the trip, making a journal of each day’s activities. The principle approved the field trip after noting that John had failed in almost all the subject. There was nothing to lose. The trip was arranged, and John accompanied his father for a whole week traveling and writing a journal to each day’s activities, and later returned to school feeling happy more inquisitive than before. Crucially, John had time to interact with his father. Everybody was amazed by how John's transformation took place because he managed to pull all his grades to the passing level in the final term's exams. Neither Mrs. Miller, teachers nor administrators had the ability to motivate John. However, restoring his relationship with his father via time building activities helped produced amazing results on John’s behavioral change. What has transpired? What helped John change his behavior as well as academic performance? What did his father have to do with John that none of John's teachers, administrators, and Mrs. Miller?

As per Jay Halley on Strategic Family Therapy model, the family’s hierarchy needs to be changed to help in a child’s process of behavioral transformation. This implies making the uninvolved parent more involved in the child's welfare. The latter is because further research has proved that a direct correlation exists between the child’s identification (time spent) and a sense of responsibility with a parent of the same sex as the child in contrast to the other parent. For the case of John, this became evident after John spent time with his father. Besides, Halley advice the counselor must give a directive to the uninvolved parent, hence creating new interactions in the family, a fact that produces positive results.
