What's wrong with her method? Everything. She made herself annoying since day one. She didn't approach him with sensibility. Therapists can be very helpful, but some of them make everything worse. I had a family therapist called something Cobos. He was really good making us say what we disliked about each other. On the other hand, he was very bad making me understand what the problem was. At the end of therapy I concluded that I hated him. It was only two years after that I saw how he had helped me and the family.
""Brent you must understand this is for your own good. And for your parents' good"
"Why?" I'm really crying now" p. 50
As readers we can see that she truly wants to cure him of his depression. But we can feel his tension and stress as well. We have read how he is suffering and how tired he is, and it's hard to think that the therapist is good when she only bugs the poor boy.
I believe telling his parents that he tried to commit suicide is part of a process. He seems very lost when he talks about suicide. He doesn't realize how serious it is.
