Benjamin comes into therapy and explains a problem he is having at work. The social worker listens intently as he tells about a typical day. Benjamin works in a warehouse moving pallets from area to area, preparing them for shipment. The new boss stays out on the floor with the guys and directs their every move. Every time the boss gives Benjamin an order, he feels as though he is being criticized. This causes him to blow up and start yelling at the boss. He gets so mad he’ll even throw boxes across the floor. Benjamin states he does not like being told what to do and cannot help getting angry. He is afraid of hurting someone with his anger, but does not know how to handle this problem. What will the social worker more than likely work on with Benjamin?
