You are a structural therapist. When a family comes into your office and presents themselves in need of someone to help fix their daughter/sister who has a drinking problem, your first question or first musing would be:
  1. How many people are coming to therapy?
  2. Which relationship needs to be disrupted?
  3. Who started it?
  4. How many people know the presenting issue?
Explanation
Answer - B - Structural therapy is about disrupting the current pattern of behavior so that the therapist can assist in developing a more workable hypothesis to help this family implement change. Regardless of the number of people who know, or who started it, the fact is that it needs to be disrupted in order for the family to regain some key level of functioning.
