You are talking to your friend Allison about her girlfriend. They’ve been dating for nearly four years. Allison says she really
wants to have a cat because she’s lonely in the house and has nothing to do all day while her girlfriend is at work. She says her girlfriend is pretty dead-set against it, and she does think her girlfriend knows best, but she’s still sad about the decision, but it’s not like she can afford to go out and adopt a cat on her own anyway. You know Allison to be a bright, driven person who did well academically and wanted to go into medicine at one point. What questions might you ask, or things might you look for, to learn if Allison may need therapy or other assistance? What might you be worried about?
