CROSS-BOOK PROBLEM-SOLVING FILE
The client can be right and still be part of the problem
The series repeatedly complicates the idea that one person is simply the problem. A teacher can be difficult while a student escalates the conflict; a rule can be too rigid while a child is secretly breaking it; siblings can hurt one another in a repeating cycle.
