Carol Cohen, a psychotherapy client at the Parker Innovative Therapy for Youth program has just been transferred to a new psychologist, Dr. Cruz. Easter is coming up in two weeks, and Dr. Cruz will be on vacation for a week, so he would like to schedule Ms. Cohen for two appointments the preceding week so she won’t fall behind in her therapy. However, Carol explains to the doctor that she can’t keep either appointment because on the first day her brother’s Bar Mitzvah is taking place and the second appointment date is the first day of Passover. The psychologist feels that Carol is just making excuses because she really doesn’t want to be in therapy at all. What is really happening, and why?
