Case study

Identical twin sisters Kalina and Yara (aged 22 years), were born in a country town in Australia. Their early years were marked by uncertainty, as their mother, a single parent, misused alcohol and struggled to care for them. At the age of 3 years, Kalina and Yara were fostered and raised separately.

Kalina was the only child in the home, raised by a devoted family, her foster parents provided private schooling. Kalina is currently enrolled at university studying for her Masters degree and is very committed to her studies and has a strong friend group of like-minded peers. Kalina participates in various university organisations, including academic associations, fitness groups, and sporting teams. While generally mild-mannered, Kalina often demonstrates vocal outbursts, particularly when faced with defeat in sport matches.

Yara's foster parents cared for her and other foster children. There was some uncertainty in her home life, often there were new foster children. Yara went to the local community school. She found schoolwork quite challenging and often got into trouble with school authorities. Yara currently has no job and spends most of her day sleeping and her nights socialising with a group of local young adults, often engaging in excessive alcohol consumption. When drinking, she frequently becomes irritable with her friends, displaying aggressive behaviour and intimidates them with threats of violence.
