When attempting to build a family consensus, you realize that the process is more difficult than you thought. However, rather than admit defeat, you turn to another method. You decide to get behind the parents, and what they are fighting for. This is known as:
  1. Aligning
  2. Considering the options
  3. Rebalancing
  4. Displacing equilibrium
Explanation
Answer - A - Aligning is the term given when the therapist must align with only one side of the family dynamic. Rebalancing is the name given instead when the therapist needs to reassess who is on which side of a particular argument. In either case, the therapist is hopeful that he will disrupt things in order for a healthier family alliance.
