INTRODUCTIONAs per the given scenario, Jill and Bob Cruise are husband and wife who are living withtheir 3 children, i.e., Anthony (15 yr.), Andrew (13 yr.) and Lisa (8 yr.). They live in a rentalhouse in low societal suburb in a major city. Jill is disabled and gets pension for the treatment ofhis health. Both Anthony and Andrew ill treat their parents and they are concerned for theirchildren. Bob and Anthony had an argument in which he mentioned about Uncle John, Bill'sbrother. This has lead to an argument between Jill and Bob as they don't want children to livewith Uncle John. In this case, theories will be conducted and analysed, i.e., crisis interventionand Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT).
