Thats not right. One of the best trainees finished the programme a few
weeks ago and left for a job.
When asked for routine personal data, he took out his wallet and
retrieved a folded piece of paper which contained his name, birthdate,
address, phone number, grandmothers name and other information that
he said he usually needed when he completed job applications

been given in the training programme, such as you dont open up that
bottle in the janitor closet, you would pass out

Resources
Mr. B is very much eager to come to therapy because his supervisor told him
that it would help him get a job. Because of this, he partakes in role-playing
activities with the therapist to improve his interpersonal skills. Although there
are some reluctance with admitting his difficulty in anger control, he doesnt
seem to have an issue answering the therapists questions.
Obstacles
Mr. B doesnt like to be part of group therapies because he believes that his
business is not for everyone to hear. He also insists that all his supervisors
should treat everyone fairly. This is problematic because he doesnt take into
consideration that he has no control over other peoples attitudes.
Core Hypothesis
Mr. Bs firm belief that everyone should act according to how he wants and
how things are supposed to be achieved in his own order only are the reasons
why he occasionally gets temper outbursts when things dont go his way.
