CASE STUDY
Shayla is a four-year-old African American girl, a fraternal twin (one boy and one girl), whose parents are in the midst of a contentious divorce in its eighth month of litigation. Child custody is being contested. The mother announced her plans to marry a Latino American man after the divorce is final. The court assigned a family counselor to provide counseling for the children, because they are exhibiting aggressive behaviors toward other children at their daycare.
