Final Answer :
C
Explanation :
Family therapy focuses on problematic family relationships and interactions. The patient has identified problems within the family. Bibliotherapy and play therapy are appropriate for children rather than adolescents. The adolescent's problem is interpersonal and relates to relationships and self-perception; therefore, behavior modification therapy would not help.
