Carol Cohen, a Psychotherapy Client at the Parker Innovative Therapy

Question 24

Multiple Choice

Carol Cohen, a psychotherapy client at the Parker Innovative Therapy for Youth program has just been transferred to a new psychologist, Dr. Cruz. Easter is coming up in two weeks, and Dr. Cruz will be on vacation for a week, so he would like to schedule Ms. Cohen for two appointments the preceding week so she won't fall behind in her therapy. However, Carol explains to the doctor that she can't keep either appointment because on the first day her brother's Bar Mitzvah is taking place and the second appointment date is the first day of Passover. The psychologist feels that Carol is just making excuses because she really doesn't want to be in therapy at all. What is really happening, and why?


A) Everyone is entitled to a vacation, so Carol is being unreasonable. She should agree to at least one of the two appointments being scheduled by her therapist.
B) The doctor should reschedule his vacation another time so it does not disrupt his client's therapy.
C) The doctor needs to be more in tune with and respectful of his client's Jewish heritage.
D) This is an isolated instance of a Jewish holiday and a Christian holiday coming one right after the other in the calendar. There is no real problem because Carol can resume her therapy as soon as the doctor comes back from his vacation.
