Chronically Absent High School Boy Returns to School

Not Creating the Bad Guy

Abstract

This is a case study of a high school boy who was chronically absent from school after being bullied in his extracurricular club. Consultations were conducted with IP and his mother over a period of three months until the boy returned to school after the seventh session. Solution construction and false solution patterns based on the double description model were effective in not creating “bad guys” at school or at home. This article summarizes the consultations and discusses methods that do not create “bad guy” players.
