Sample Question: September 5, 2014 A couple come for help to a social worker in private practice. They are having power struggles with their 15 year old son, an only child, who does well in school and until recently had been compliant and “a real good kid”. Lately he has begun expressing opposite political views from theirs, insisting on eating a vegetarian diet and refusing to attend religious services with the family, announcing that he prefers to sleep in. The parents fear that they are doing something wrong and are at a loss for how to handle him. The social worker should first: A) Reassure them that this is normal behavior, and that they are doing a good job. B) Refer them to a parenting group. C) Ask to meet privately with their son. D) Educate them about the normal development stage of adolescence and the predictable course of separation and individuation.
