A couple who has recently immigrated from Kenya comes to see you in your office. They are uncertain as to why their son would react so differently in the US, as opposed to their homeland. Once they tell you the story of the oppression and the poverty they faced in Kenya, you begin to understand that this family could benefit from:
  1. Minimalist Theory
  2. Cultural Counseling
  3. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy
  4. Narrative Therapy
Explanation
Answer - D - CBT relies so heavily on human instinct and what drives us to certain behaviors, without much room for explanation. When it comes down to it, narrative therapy is especially helpful in working with families who show signs of previous displacement or misrepresentation. Narrative therapy also allows any individual regardless of age, to tell their story of acculturation as it has impacted them without judgment.
