Kyle

Kyle is a 16-year-old young man who was referred to the CIP Schools Project at the beginning of the school year. His problem was his difficulty in school, being socially isolated, and acting out against his classmates.

Since seeing a CIP intern-therapist on a weekly basis, Kyle has been able to identify his anger with is fear about what is going to happen to him since his parents have divorced. This has been an entrée enabling him to talk about his fears of abandonment, rejection, not being loved, and sadness.

Therapy has given Kyle a chance to reach out to someone who has been able to listen and help him to understand his feelings. Kyle is becoming more interested in participating in school and having more open communication with his newly divorced parents.
