THE CASE OF DONNA
Donna was a 17‐year‐old Cambodian American bi‐curious female. She was referred for counseling with me at a local Asian Pacific Family Center for getting into fights at school. She was experiencing academic failure due to multiple suspensions for fighting with gang members. Her mother, who barely escaped from the Khmer Rouge, was receiving medication for her own depression and symptoms of posttraumatic stress disorder. Her younger brother was referred for mental health treatment for his acting‐out behaviors (e.g., getting into fights, petty theft, academic failure). Donna claimed that her mother was “crazy”—oftentimes displaying extreme behaviors such as emotional smothering (not allowing client to have her own space at home and listening in on her telephone conversations) or abandonment (throwing Donna and her possessions out of the house when she misbehaved). She often fought with her mother and reported that her father, who remarried when Donna was 5 and had other children, has not been a big part of her life. She had difficulty accepting her mother’s new identity as a lesbian and secretly fantasized that her parents would someday reunite despite not being together for more than a decade.
Initial phases of treatment consisted of Donna boasting to this therapist of how many times she had been in fights with her classmates and the number of sexual escapades she had had with multiple partners. She also relayed that she was able to be financially independent by supporting herself as an import model (she received minimal compensation for modeling bikinis or appearing seminude in exotic automobile advertisements). She seemed amused when she fought with her mother and unaffected by her father’s absence. Although Donna was enthusiastic and willing to self‐disclose, developing a genuine connection was initially a challenge due to her inability to recognize her contributions to the dynamics surrounding her.
