Scenario

• Brody cannot be told what to do. This 15-year-old's single mother has come to you for answers about what she terms as "above and beyond normal teenage disobedience." School assessments demonstrate that Brody's intellectual abilities are somewhat above average, but his grades suffer due to his tendency to become annoyed and pick arguments with his teacher and other school staff members. Brody's mom indicates that he has no history of drug use and has only been in trouble within the academic setting, but she worries his argumentative nature will land him in greater difficulty as he continues through high school.
