Case The dilemma is between the social worker and the family member, the mother. Alan, aged 17, has been diagnosed with a developmental disability, seizure disorder, and major depressive disorder. He attends weekly therapy sessions where he feels comfortable sharing his concerns, establishing a positive rapport with his therapist. As Alan's Care Manager from CDNY(provide services for individuals with developmental disabilities) for the past 6 months, I've noticed he remains guarded toward me while I primarily interact with his mother. She has reported instances where Alan displays aggressive behavior towards her when he doesn't get his way, especially concerning his homeschooling arrangements. Alan shows resistance despite efforts to engage him in activities like a prevocational program or getting community rehabilitation. Alan's mother has expressed these concerns with Alan's therapist, requesting joint sessions to address these behavioral issues. However, she has been informed that the therapy sessions are exclusively for Alan, lasting 30 minutes per session. Identify and describe the value conflict in the case to which you are replying.
