The answer to this question is describing behavior
Describing behavior refers to increasing one's awareness on how and why a certain behavior is developed within a person's mind.
By interviewing the parents, Dr. O'neill tries to make the parents understand that abusing their own children will often correlate to an increase of rebellious behaviors during their adolescence
