Jim called in for his second counselling. Last week, on his first appointment the counsellor told that Jim should like to control his anger. Jim was physically abusing his female partner, Julie, who is 22 years of age. The couple has no children but his partner has currently expressed a desire to have a child with him. The client is 26 years old and a labourer by occupation. He has only had seasonal employment and has been subject to periods of unemployment, the bigest being three months. At the time of beginning counselling Jim was unemployed and renting with his partner in a shared house with another couple.
