Problem:
A mother and father bring their 16-year-old son to you because he has been threatening to run away. This week they took his driver's license away from him because he is failing four classes. They don't want him on the streets but feel he must earn the privilege of having a car. The son is oppositional, defiant, and refused to cooperate.
Using Erikson model, Pyschosocial Stages of Development, how would you describe the mother, father, and son's stage of psychosocial development? Need Professional Help?
What might they be struggling with beyond what is described in the case study?
