Relevant lines of inquiry would include those necessary to provide an overview of the CFO's responsibilities and her impression of their operational importance to the company; those necessary to quantify the amount of external stress caused by the adoption and the substance abuse problems of her son; and those designed to identify the source of her egocentric sentiments (Gerrig & Zimbardo, 2007) about how she regards his problems as something he is doing to her.

Suggestions to the CFO would include: (1) Maintaining an unrealistic perception about the specific role and operational importance of her responsibilities unnecessarily increases work-related stress above and beyond that which is unavoidably a function of her position and, therefore, accepting a more realistic view in that regard would eliminate work-related stress significantly; (2) Identifying the specific sources of non-work-related stresses often provides a means for addressing them individually to mitigate them as much as possible; and (3) Inappropriately attributing the significance of her son's behavioral problems to their effect on her career increases her stress and probably lowers her chances of helping her son resolve his problems successfully and with the minimum amount of damage possible.
Options for this individual included allowing herself to reduce her hours temporarily to better manage aspects of her personal and family life during the short-term and securing competent family and adolescent counseling during some of her non-work time.
