1. Read about Janis.

Janis Jones has just come to live with her grandmother in a small house in a community near the university. She is 12 years old and runs with a “rough” crowd as her grandmother describes it. She and her mother never really bonded, but her mother retains legal custody so that she can cover Janis with her insurance. Janis talks back to her grandmother, disobeys her, and pays little attention to the rules. About two months ago, she screamed at her grandmother in the parking lot of a movie theater and was hysterical for two hours. Her mother and her grandmother believe she needs to see a counselor and she has agreed. The counselor thinks she is depressed and refers her to a physician for medication. Unfortunately, her behavior is getting out of control. She’s becoming more and more defiant, staying out late, and not telling her grandmother where she is going. Her grandmother thinks she may be experimenting with drugs. Yesterday Janis slapped her grandmother and threatened to kill her.
