Upon arrival, the psychologist tells the family he
would like to speak with the child, individually, before speaking with the family. The
psychologist speaks with the boy, then the family. The psychologist tells the family to
come back a week later for an additional session. A week later the family does not show
up for the session, and the psychologist calls to ask them why they missed the session.
