Question Answered step-by-step Dija, a 13-year-old girl, was referred to therapy by her parents… Dija, a 13-year-old girl, was referred to therapy by her parents due to difficulty adjusting to the United States. Dija was born in India, moved to Florida and lived until she was 7. Due to a work opportunity for her parents, they moved to India when she was 7 until age 11. They returned to the Florida 2 years ago and Dija has had difficulty adjusting to being back in the US. She has had trouble making friends, has been bullied at school, and has had some suicidal thoughts in the last couple months. While living in India, Dija had many friends, was involved in theater, and was well liked by both kids her age and their parents. She is extremely bright and achieved excellent grades. Dija has tried hard to fit in at her school, including trying to be funny, slacking on her grades, making fun of others, and changing her appearance (including clothes she wears and her hair). She has been somewhat successful at having less people “hate her,” but still feels like an outcast. When Dija recently returned to India to visit her family and former friends, she felt out of place and did not fit in. This was a shock, as she always felt that she belonged there. Dija reported feeling sadness daily, tearfulness, low self-esteem, poor appetite, and sleep problems that has been present for the last 2 years. Dija reported a close relationship with both parents, but also admitted that they argue a lot and there is “a lot of screaming” at my house. She noted that her parents are very traditional and she does not bring any friends over to her house. She does not have any other family in the US. Her grades at school are ok, but she does not currently try her best.  What are 3 diversity factorsWhat are 3 factors related to counseling and treatment for Dija from a psychological standpoint  Social Science Psychology PSYCH MISC Share QuestionEmailCopy link Comments (0)
