BOX 6.3
Example of a Crisis Related to Blending a Family
45-year-old man comes to counseling because his girlfriend moved in with him and his 13-yearold daughter after he had been separated from his wife for five months. He was very stressed
because his girlfriend complained about the amount of time he devoted to his daughter. The
girlfriend felt deprived. Subsequent couples counseling brought out the girlfriend’s perception of
being disliked by the daughter and her feelings that her boyfriend was too focused on his daughter.
Crisis counseling focused on educating the girlfriend about parental attachment and
responsibility. This helped alter her view that the father was “overly devoted.” She began to
understand that his attention to his daughter was normal. The daughter was brought in as well to
explore the girlfriend’s perception that the daughter disliked her. The daughter said that she did not
dislike the girlfriend, but that she felt awkward about liking her, considering that the girlfriend had
now taken on her mother’s former role. Crisis intervention explored loyalty issues and allowed each
to clarify her expectations of the other.
