the following case study:
Hal
Crisp is a 19-year-old young man who thinks he might be gay and likes to go
clubbing. His parents disapprove of this, not only because they are
embarrassed, but because they think that the ecstasy, meth, and other drugs at
the clubs are dangerous. Hal says that he goes clubbing because that’s the only
place he feels accepted. He says he certainly does not feel accepted by his
family.
