Marisas mother has brought Marisa into your office seeking counseling for oppositional behavior. Marisas mother reports Marisa is so disrespectful; she talks back yells at me and just wont do what she is told. While you are talking with Marisa and her mother they describe a recent argument. Marisa reports that her mother slapped me during the argument. Marisas mother reports She hit me; I had to do something.
