To complete each assignment, you will need to read the case study. Assume that the client described in each case study meets criteria for a DSM-5 disorder. You will then consult the DSM-5 criteria and write 1-2 detailed paragraphs in which you assign a primary diagnosis for the client and justify that diagnosis. In this section you should reference EACH of the DSM-5 criteria for the diagnosis you are assigning and provide evidence from the case study for or against the presence of that criterion. If you have no information for a particular criterion you should specify this. For example, if the DSM-5 criteria specify that the symptoms cannot be accounted for by a medical condition and you have no evidence that the client has a medical condition that would explain their symptoms, you should state this. Next, write a paragraph in which you provide an example of at least one related diagnosis that you are ruling out based on the information you have. This is a process called “differential diagnosis.” As you know, the categories provided in the DSM-5 do not represent “true” categories in nature, and often clients will often have symptoms in multiple categories. As a clinician, you need to rule out other categories or explanations for the symptoms. For example, if someone is experiencing panic attacks in the wake of a traumatic event, you might consider the diagnoses of Posttraumatic Stress Disorder, Acute Stress Disorder, or Panic Disorder. The DSM-5 criteria will help you figure out which is the most appropriate diagnosis, and you should specify why you are ruling out another disorder, providing specific justification for ruling it out. The best disorders to rule out are those that share features or symptoms described in the case but are not the best diagnosis for the client. Finally, you will write one paragraph in which you may specify the use of a psychosocial treatment, a psychoactive medication, or both. You must briefly describe how this treatment works and you must justify your choice of treatment based on the research evidence for the efficacy of the treatment.

Case Study #1

Linda is a 36-year old, Afro-Latina, married insurance executive living in the Northeast United States. She has been experiencing symptoms of anxiety since she was in high school, but they have recently become much worse after the birth of her second child, a son, 4 months ago, prompting her to seek treatment. She says that for the last 4 months she has felt keyed up, anxious, and “on alert” almost constantly. She has difficulty sleeping, significantly diminished concentration, and is irritable. In addition, several times a day she has “attacks” that involve involve “full terror.” The episodes last for about 10-15 minutes each, and usually involve profuse sweating, muscle tension, increased heart rate, feelings of dizziness, trembling, intense fear, and crying. When asked what triggers these episodes, Linda says that they usually occur when she is at home alone with her infant son or when she has memories of his delivery, during which she suffered a rare complication (she learned after delivering that both she and her baby could have died during the delivery). She tries very hard not to think about the delivery, but images and memories of it pop into her head frequently. In addition to these episodes of “terror,” Linda says that since her son’s birth she feels worthless, ashamed, and guilty for not “bringing him into a safe world.” She also states that she feels sad much of the time, and is detached from her son (she does not feel she has bonded well with him). Linda has started to sometimes call out sick from work when she has the sense that she is “having a bad day” and might have an episode, and she says she is increasingly withdrawing from her son because she finds that being with him triggers her anxiety. She says that she feels “utterly alone” and avoids hanging out with other mothers of infants because she finds they cannot relate to her experiences. Linda does not use any substances or have any medical conditions that could explain these episodes.

Learning disabilities are often thought of as school problems. Explain how the same underlying disorder (e.g., dyslexia) can exist both in preschool years and again after the child is in school but often not be diagnosed until as late as the third grade. (The distinctions between disorder and disability should be useful here.)

Marsha is 16 years old and lives with her two sisters (Jan & Cindy), her mother (Carol), her step-father (Mike), and her three step-brothers (Greg, Peter & Bobby) in Southern California. Her nose was broken when she went to the back to door to tell her brothers that dinner was ready. An errant throw resulted in her getting hit in the face with a football. She was taken to the hospital where she was treated and a bandage was placed on her nose. She was told that she would be just as beautiful as before once her nose healed, yet when the bandage was removed Marsha screamed in horror. To everyone else her nose looked fine, but Marsha saw it as disfigured and disgusting. “I’ll never get the part of Juliet in the school play now!” she sobbed, “and there’s no way that Davey Jones will ever consider singing at our school dance once he sees my ugly nose!” Marsha stopped going out, except to go to the store to get beauty cream for her nose. She wouldn’t even go to school. Her parents didn’t know what to do. They asked the other kids in the family to tell Marsha how beautiful she is, hoping that the encouragement would help her.

            “It’s always ‘Marsha Marsha Marsha’!” thought Jan, “everyone treats her like she’s so beautiful and so wonderful, and they treat me like dirt!” Jan decided the best way to get people to treat her like they treated Marsha was to become beautiful, which to Jan meant she had to lose weight. Though she felt her parents were very controlling, she believed she could at least control whether or not she ate. By the time they noticed Jan wasn’t eating, she had lost a considerable amount of weight.    

            “It doesn’t feel right, Mrs. Brady,” said Alice, the family’s house-keeper, “with Marsha and Jan being so troubled, I don’t think I can enjoy going to The Meat Chopper’s Ball with Sam.” Sam is the local butcher who has been dating Alice for many years. The phone rings and Carol picks up the receiver. “Alice – it’s Sam,” she says as she hands the phone to her. Carol watches as Alice becomes more and more upset as she talks with Sam. “It looks like I don’t have to worry about the ball after all,” said Alice as she hung up the phone, “Sam just broke up with me.” Carol tries to console Alice and suggests that maybe she should take a walk. Alice agrees and puts on her jacket and leaves. Alice never returns. Mike and Carol contact the police and wide-spread manhunt finds nothing. Alice had just disappeared.

            So now things have gone from bad to worse for Carol. On top of everything else, she now finds herself as a stay-at-home mom who actually has to do housework! She is able to manage for a week or so, but then the work just seems to be piling up.   One day when Mike gets home late, she yells, “What took you so long?!? I could use some help around here!” “Honey,” replies Mike, “you know I always get my hair permed on Wednesday night.”   “You’re leaving me to do this while you get your hair done?!?” cries Carol as she collapses onto the sofa. “Carol, what’s wrong? Why are you so stressed?” asks Mike. “Why am I so stressed? Do you know how much work it is to take care of this family? The cooking! The cleaning! The laundry! And on top of that, Marsha thinks she’s ugly and Jan won’t eat!” Mike then decides that all of the family’s problems could be solved if they went on vacation. The next day he makes arrangements for them to go to Hawaii.

            Once they get to Hawaii, Mike suggests they go to the beach. Jan refuses to put on a swimsuit because she believes she is so disgustingly fat. Marsha says, “I could go naked and no one would notice – they’d all be staring at my hideously ugly nose!” So they decided to go for a walk and look for something fun to do.   As they turned the corner they see a sign for Pirate Pauline’s boat tour of the island, and they all decide that a tour would be nice. When they get to Pirate Pauline’s, they see Alice dressed like a sailor and smoking a cigarette. “Alice!! It’s you!!” they yell and they run hug her. “Back off!!” screams Alice, “me name is Pirate Pauline and I sails the salty sea! Argh!” “Well, um, Pauline,” says Carol, “You look just like our old house-keeper, Alice.” “House-keeper! Shiver me timbers!” exclaims Alice, “would a house-keeper have this?” Alice rolls up her sleeve to reveal a tattoo of the skull and crossbones with the phrase, “Momma Didn’t Love Me” tattooed underneath. Little Cindy begins to cry, “Oh Alice, we miss you! Don’t you remember us?” Alice pauses, looks reflectively toward the sky and rubs her chin. She then bends over to look Cindy in the eye as she removes a knife from her pocket. “If yous call me Alice once again I’ll cut out yer spleen!” she threatens. The whole bunch screams as they run back to the hotel. Once they have caught their breath Mike says, “Maybe we should have gone to the Grand Canyon!”

You are reading the alumni newsletter from Elite University (a very prestigious institution). In the newsletter it is mentioned that children of “generous” alumni (i.e., those who contribute large amounts of money) are guaranteed admission to the institution, regardless of their grades. Interestingly, you note from the pictures of generous alums that they are all white. You conclude that this suggests a case of

In Thompson’s “Hanging Tongues: A Sociological Encounter with the Assembly Line,” the author spent time working on the kill floor and discovered all but what?

that working faster than the line speed allowed the workers a form of symbolic control

working conditions were humane for the workers

the better pay compared to other options tended to become a financial trap for those who had originally intended to move on

that buying various gadgets/toys gave workers some compensation for the bad working conditions

getting sick and/or injured was very common but workers tended to cope by concluding that someone who got seriously hurt or killed must have been sloppy
