Jane is starting a group for teenage girls who are struggling with self-esteem issues. Jane, wanting to get the group started right away, and worried that she won't have enough participants, opens the group to all girls ages 13-15. Jane does not worry about screening potential participants though she does obtain written consent from all the girls' guardians. Alice is a 15-year-old participant in the group who has struggled with depression in her past. This information is not known to Jane, as she did not screen for it. After one particularly difficult group session, Alice goes home and attempts suicide. Alice's mother calls Jane angry and upset, blaming Jane for her daughter's suicide attempt.
