An adult child who still lives at home is either using home base as a temporary arrangement while continuing education or as a "nonaction" until more permanent ties have been established elsewhere.With the parent's frustration and anxiety,this situation of incomplete launching needs to be addressed.The first suggestion should be about vocational assessment and training for the adult child.There is no indication the patient needs anger management,a parenting workshop,or marriage counseling.
