Summary of Augustus Y. Napier & Carl Whitaker's The Family Crucible

Please note: This is a companion version & not the original book. Book Preview:

#1 I met with Carl, a psychiatrist, to discuss his family. He explained that his wife had called him about an appointment with him. She had been referred by John Simons, a child psychiatrist in town who worked mostly with adolescents.

#2 The family was very tense during the session, and it seemed like they were about to fight. But Carl was able to defuse the situation by asking them to wait until Don arrived.

#3 The family was having a difficult time deciding whether or not they would have an official meeting. I insisted that it would be unfair to Don and I thought unfair to Mrs. Brice to have him absent when we were discussing the prospect of the family changing.

#4 It was clear to us that we needed the whole family to help deal with the anxiety of the situation. But the parents insisted that we were being professionally irresponsible by delaying the appointment.
