Drunk In Minneapolis I would totally have to agree with you in your response to The Good Son. Speaking as a professional therapist-in-training (though socal I think I'd hardly like to admit to it in this case), it may be his therapist's orientation to delve into childhood issues (this is a psychodynamic POV) to resolve present socal conflicts. However, the therapist should realize that this would not be beneficial to the client. TGS reported that he has a good relationship socal with his mother and fears messing it up. I would suggest he drop this particular therapist if he doesn't feel comfortable. The whole point of a therapeutic environment is that the client feels comfortable enough to let down barriers and let treatment begin. This can be done in many ways other than confronting the mother. And there are many other "kinds" of therapists out there who would let TGS move at his own pace and toward his own goals and not pressure him into what the therapist wants. He may want to seek out a person-centered or humanistic-existential-oriented therapist, or even a cognitive-behavioral therapist.
