Abstract
Jin is a 16-year-old Korean-American male who was referred to your clinic after his parents found him “passed out and dead drunk” for the second time in two months. His parents report that they are very concerned about his drinking and that he has “changed recently,” which includes a decline in his grades at school. He is also “more disrespectful” to his parents. Further, according to his parents, Jin is more interested in his friends than his family. His parents report that they have always been a close family and believe very strongly in having protected family time. Jin appears to be less interested in this and states that he would rather spend time with his friends rather than attend family gatherings.
