Substance Use Disorder

While psychoactive medications called tranquillizers like Valium or Xanax reduce neural activity in the central nervous system and thus do reduce anxiety for people suffering from disorders like phobias and panic disorder, these medications are not used for long term therapy because these drugs are highly addictive.

(This man needs a profession that can prescribe psychoactive medications, but otherwise he is doing well.)

Basic Needs

Drive theory was originally developed to explain how homeostasis is maintained for physiological needs (what humanist theory calls ___1__), so these are called primary drives. However, psychologists were so impressed with the theory that they expanded it to apply to psychological needs like affiliation (the need for friends and love), achievement (the needed to succeed), and competency (the need to feel skilled at something). Because these needs are relatively new additions to the theory, they are called secondary drives.

A.W. remembers always getting in trouble for "daydreaming" regularly, missing homework assignments, and still frequently gets distracted in the middle of doing a task. A.W. asked the pediatrician whether adults can benefit from treatment, because she recalled seeing an advertisement on television about adult with these symptoms. The pediatrician told her that her son's condition does run in families and that treatment is available for adults that might help with her problems staying organized.

All his victims lost their life savings and suffered grievous and life-threatening stress symptoms. He seems rather peeved at being convicted but tries to hide his displeasure by claiming to be eager to "heal, reform himself and get reintegrated into normative society". When asked about the fact that three of his victims died of heart attacks as a direct result of his misdeeds, he barely suppresses a laugh and denies any responsibility: his "clients" were adults who knew what they were doing and had the deal he was working on gone well, they would all have become "filthy rich." He then goes on the attack deriding his victims: "they had no right to bring charges against me. They were the fools." He looks completely puzzled and disdainful when asked why he did what he did. "For the money, of course" - he blurts out impatiently and then recomposes himself to project a charming personality. Ani is contemptuous towards the "meek and weak". He believes that life is hostile, one long cruel battle, no holds barred, and morality was invented by the strong to emasculate and enslave the masses. He does not regret "fooling the idiots"; he merely regrets having been caught. It depresses him to face incontrovertible proof that he is not as intellectually superior to others as he had always believed himself to be. Ani doesn't believe in "premature planning". "One day at a time is my motto." - he says smugly - "The world is so unpredictable that it is by far better to improvise." The prison guards have expressed that for the last 2 weeks Ani has had anhedonia and sleeps nearly 20 hours a day, but do not really feel very sorry for Ani.

C.P. is a 35 year old man who has lived in a group home since age 14. He exhibits self-stimulatory vocalizations most of the time--very loud, fast and threatening. He is able to speak clearly with correct grammar, however he rarely communicates verbally with others. He is highly aggressive and violent-- generally having 3-4 incidents per week that must be reported to the state. He has little insight into the emotions of staff or other residents. He is generally noncompliant, impatient, and characterized as lazy by the staff. He will act out violently hurting himself and others when asked to do anything for more than a few minutes. He enjoys riding horses but hits them occasionally. He spends much of the day repetitively pacing with a particular pattern of steps and hops. He often tries to get out of facility, and if not constantly watched, he will wander the neighborhood and enter nearby homes. He is obsessive about what food he will eat and has poor table manners eating very fast and spilling much of the food. Left to his own devices, however, he will eat exceptionally large amounts of food, to the point of having stomach aches. As a result he is severely overweight.

1A) Four symptoms that point to the primary diagnosis for this patient are: Another personality named Betty appeared., The patient had been born as Kegan., Toddler had been sexually assaulted repeatedly in the train station restroom., Personality Carl then appeared 2B) The primary diagnosis for the patient is ____Dissociative Personality Disorder___. Carl has a comorbid diagnosis of ____Obsessive Compulsive Disorder___. Betty has a comorbid diagnosis of ____Bulimia Nervosa___. Kegan has a comorbid diagnosis of ____agoraphobia____. Kegan is experiencing ____dissociative amnesia____ when he cannot remember periods of time. Lifestyle routines that will improve both Kegan and Carl's mental health as well as physical health are ___nutritious diet_____, ____Good Sleep Habits_____, and ____physical activity____ A psychotherapy called _____Cognitive Therapy____ may be helpful integrating all of these personalities who share a body, but _____hypnosis____ is a very bad idea because false memories may be implanted during this period of increased suggestibility.

Carl is a 23 year old man who was referred for psychiatric treatment by his dentist. Although Carl reports brushing his teeth and flossing four times a day, he has horrible decay and several cavities on his teeth. Carl is in fact constantly thinking about how his actions affect his health and safety. In addition to brushing and flossing after every meal and before bed, he showers morning and night, constantly wears an orange safety vest when walking outside ("so motorists or hunters can see me and not hurt me" he says), and thoroughly cleans his apartment with disinfectant every day - which takes up 3 hours of his daily routine. If he fails any of these safety rituals he cannot stop thinking about the risks to his safety despite his best efforts. He is finding his poor dental health extremely distressing because of these types of intrusive thoughts. Over the course of psychotherapy, another personality named Betty appeared and Betty had a habit of eating huge amounts of food in a single sitting, but then inducing vomiting to prevent weight gain. This habit would explain Betty/Carl's poor teeth. Further investigation revealed that the patient had been born as Kegan, and abandoned by his teenage mother when he was just a toddler. His mother left him at a train station and never came back. The police were called when the child was found bleeding and nearly dead because the toddler had been sexually assaulted repeatedly in the train station restroom. The personality Carl then appeared because the personality Kegan developed an extreme fear of all public spaces after this instance. When Kegan was interviewed in his apartment, he reported that he did have periods of "missed time" during which he has no memory but groceries and other supplies appeared in the apartment. Kegan attributed the deliveries to his friends who frequently visit him since Kegan does not leave the apartment, none of the friends ever admitted to being the delivery person. Kegan earns money as a telemarketer who does direct sales calls from his home.

Homeostasis

Carl was shivering when he came in because his body temperature (normally 98.6 degrees for humans) was lower than optimal. So he had a drive to get warm and engaged in the drive reducing behavior of putting on a sweater.

Carl's body was trying to maintain ___1___ for body temperature by sweating when he was hot and shivering when he was cold.

D.) who has no medical degree but instead attended 5 years of graduate school in psychology plus an internship in clinical psychology; this training allows these professionals to treat all psychiatric disorders including severe, chronic conditions with intensive psychotherapy, but they cannot prescribe medications in most states, and so often work in partnership with a psychiatrist. They may also work in a team with counselors and family/group therapists as well.

F.F. is an extremely successful investment broker.

Although, F.F. could be extremely charming to prospective clients, he routinely hired private detectives to gather dirt on any person he worked with and felt no empathy for other people's struggles. F.F. would then blackmail anyone who did not cooperate with F.F.'s demands.

Medical notations indicate that F.Z.'s mother was an avid smoker, consuming approximately two packs of cigarettes daily before and during pregnancy. Records indicate that F.Z. experienced a turbulent home life because of ongoing conflicts between her parents that resulted in repeated separations and reconciliations. However, her school records show good academic work and normal social relationships during grade school.

Giselle's younger sister Holly is eight years behind her in age but, much like her sister, has a very grounded and intellectual personality. Both girls stand approximately five feet, eleven inches tall, but while Holly weight is a healthy 140 pounds, Giselle's weight fluctuates and is often much lower and her BMI dips below 15 from time to time. Giselle and Holly are both considered accomplished in their own rights, with Giselle enrolled in medical school and Holly being acknowledged as a "stand-out athlete" at her high school. Giselle never seemed to feel that her accomplishments were enough, however. At the present time, Giselle is home from medical school, taking a leave of absence to clear her mind and regroup her life. While in high school, Giselle's mother would constantly bring her to the doctor to check up on her weight. Giselle would do things like put rocks or weights in her pockets to hide her weight loss and tip the scale at 120 pounds, as opposed to the less than 100 pounds that she truly weighed. Holly describes her sister's systematic approach to the dinner table as Giselle would figure out ways to clear her plate without digesting a single bite of food (i.e. dropping food on the floor, pretending to use the restroom and flushing portions of her meal). Her parents were not entirely fooled by these tricks, but they were also not aware of how little Giselle actually ate. In addition to a lack of food consumed her diet, Giselle would only drink unsweetened lemon water. She also ran 3 miles every morning to burn calories. Still Giselle was not satisfied with her body and covered the walls of her room with motivational posters designed to motivate her to eat less food and exercise more strenuously. Giselle admits that she thinks constantly about how "fat" she believes that she looks and feels compelled to engage in eating and exercise rituals to reduce her anxiety about gaining weight.

Sarah's story: "My earliest memory of the problem was when I was about eight years old. I felt I could not step on the pavement cracks. I don't know why, but it made me feel physically uncomfortable if I did it. So I would very carefully walk and find a different route if pavement was too cracked to walk on it without stepping on a crack. I also must say my prayers respectfully and sincerely every night or I could not sleep because I was breaking my routine. When I had my fourth child I began having intrusive thoughts that I might go into my children's bedrooms in my sleep, take out their dressing gown cords, and strangle each one of the children. Therefore, before I could sleep, I had to find their dressing gowns, take the cords out of the dressing gowns, and tie them into as many knots as possible. Then I'd go back to bed, but I still couldn't sleep. I would get out of bed again, get the cords, put them in a bag, seal the bag, and put the bag in a high cupboard. I often used to ask myself what was wrong with my memory and why I couldn't remember whether the gas has been turned off, even though I'd checked it 13 times and I only checked 10 seconds ago. I would spend 75 minutes checking that I turned off every light, locked every door and window, and put everything in its place before I could ever leave for work. I was becoming perpetually exhausted because of all the routines I had to complete each day before I could relax."
