 III. Problem Presented

The client is 21 years old, who has some problem in her family because she sometimes feel
that there is a favorite child. She is developing resentment towards her parents and has lack of
self-esteem. She wants to talk about it with her family but she is afraid what may happen. She
did not want to have resentment towards her parents.

IV. Client and Family Background

Ladygen is a 20 years old, second year college student. She was born on February 18,
2003 at Pongapong, San Pablo, Zamboanga del Sur. Ladygen is the second child of her parents.
She has one older sister named Cherry Ann S. Miro, unemployed and younger sister named
Divine Love S. Miro who was still studying.
She belongs to a lower-middle class family. Her father Ranil Miro, is a 47 years old,
farmer in their own farm. Her mother Margarita Miro, is a 46 years old, vendor in their
community. The combine income of their parents is approximately more or less than Php
100,000. Their family lives in a comfortable life wherein the combine income of their parents is
sufficient enough to sustain their needs and provide their wants sometimes.

V. Family’s Current Functioning

Miro family was belonging to a lower-middle class family. The parents doesn’t have
stable job while the older sister is unemployed as she just graduated in college but they own a
farm which produces root crops and corn where they can sell and consume. They are active in
social gatherings in their community and also active in religious gathering.

VI. Assesment
Based on the client’s statement, the reason why she felt that there was favoritism is
because sometimes when she asks for something her mother will decline unlike with her
younger sister. She also added if her mother wants to give her something , her younger sister
will oppose. She will just silently cry in frustration.
Ladygen did not realize at first that she is developing resentment towards her parents
based on the treatment they show to them, siblings. She just recently realizes it and did not
want it to develop more because she knows it will affect their relationship.
This analysis is supported by Cognitive Behavioral Theory, which indicates that people’s
emotions, behavior and body sensations, are linked to each other and that whatever people do
and whatever they think, affects how they feel. This theory also outlines how an individual’s
mental processes play a critical role in the development of their emotional state. And from a
therapist’s perspective, if the person changes the he/she thinks, then how a person will
interpret the world around them also changes.
Given to Ladygen’s situation, she interpret things the other way around. She interpreted
her parents’ treatment negatively and thinks that she is the least favorite or there is favoritism
occuring within their family. With that she developed lack of self-esteem and was developing
resentment towards her parents.
