Kanga is a lot like this. For the last couple of years, the tdocs have explained that there is little hope that she will develop the internal motivation to be good so they are trying to get her to buy into an external structure that will motivate her to be good (positives: get a job, have people like her; negatives: get fired, get arrested). Kanga sees it as a game and they are trying to restructure her thinking so that winning the game means meeting societal norms and getting the social and material rewards rather than just taking what she wants or doing what she wants so that she gets the material stuff but not the social rewards.
