...This case study takes a look at a kid named Jim, who developed a long-term mental disorder called Schizophrenia. Although the precise cause of schizophrenia is not known, certain factors seem to increase the risk of developing the disorder. In Jim’s case, there are many factors that put him at risk for developing schizophrenia. Of the few, the most important factors are the old age of his father, the history of mental disorder in his mother, the mental stress Jim experienced as a result of his father’s hospitalization, and his frequent abuse of marijuana. Unfortunately, Jim’s brain is naturally targeted by the disorder because of these factors. Jim’s symptoms became apparent shortly after he graduated high school. He started feeling that he could mentally influence the way people think and act. Eventually, his hunch turned into a concrete belief, which in reality was an obvious delusion. Stemming from these initial thoughts, Jim started to become paranoid around other people and developed extreme anxiety because he thought they were aware of his powers. He also began to perceive hallucinations and voices in his head, which eventually led him to showcase his symptoms in front of his mother. All of Jim’s symptoms led him to the hospital bed, where he...

...After the proper treatment, in 11 out of 12 cases, pseudopatients were diagnosed with schizophrenia “in remission". The condition of one more participant was described as "schizophrenia". Despite the fact that in the records of hospital staff about the patients who received only extremely positive characteristics that indicated a high willingness to interact with doctors, friendliness, and absence of symptoms of unhealthy behavior, none of the members of Rosenhan's team was exposed. Furthermore, Rosenhan made his next step in order to confirm his theory. The second part of the study did not involve the participation of Rosenhan’s pseudo patients. The doctor invited the staff of one hospital, whose specialization was also psychiatry, to find among its patients, the deceivers, whom he allegedly sent there. In fact, there were no false patients this time, however, the institution's employees counted at least 41 pseudo patients out of 193 who came for treatment at that...

...The problem with my client is that he is dealing with a lot of chronic grief. Yes, he is dealing with mild depression as well, but mostly I feel that grief plays huge role in his life right now. According to the Diagnostic and Statistical Manuel of Mental Disorders 2013, Consider that in grief the predominant affect is feelings of emptiness and loss, while in Major Depressive Disorder (MDE) it is persistent depressed mood and the inability to anticipate happiness or pleasure. The dysphoria in grief is likely to decrease in intensity over days to weeks and occurs in waves, the so-called pangs of grief. These waves tend to be associated with thoughts or reminders of the deceased. The depressed mood of MDE is more persistent and not tied to specific thoughts of preoccupations. The pain of grief may be accompanied by positive emotions and humor that are uncharacteristic of the pervasive unhappiness and misery characteristics of MDE (p. 161). During my sessions with my client we are now addressing his grief that is associated with the loss of his grandmother, mother, loneliness and hopelessness. I have set goals for my client to make sure that he doesn’t wake up every day feeling lonely and hopelessness and ways to make sure that he has forgiven himself for his life choices and not being able to attend both funerals of his grandmother and mother. The goals I have set him do play a part in the micro, mezzo, and macro level. In the micro level I am helping him get over his grief and...

Number each answer. 2. On the cover page indicate the following items: Registration Number and Name 3. Due Date : 22nd July 2016 Case Study 1 ROCHE’S NEW SCIENTIFIC METHOD For years, the Swiss pharmaceutical giant Roche Group worked hard to create an ultra-competitive culture that pitted scientific teams against one another in fighting for scarce resources. Roche had believed that this culture was instrumental in creating such blockbuster drugs as Valium and Librium. But, on the downside, this approach made it almost impossible for scientists to abandon faltering projects that they felt were pivotal for their careers. Rather, it led them to hoard their technical expertise and findings. In 1998, the company turned to a more collaborative style of teamwork—especially for its teams working in the new field of genomics. Roche began running ads in Science magazine for a young new breed of researchers who could reinvent themselves as their job opportunities rapidly changed. It was the new breakthroughs in genomics and molecular biology that pushed Roche to change the way it hunted for drugs. Roche knew it had to speed...

...Validating Rosenhan’s hypothesis, no pseudopatient was detected by the staff. Rather, once released, their mental health status was recorded as “schizophrenia in remission” However, while the doctors, nurses, and attendants failed to detect the subjects, 35 out of 118 real patients voiced suspicions that the subjects were not mentally ill. Contacts between the patients, both the pseudopatients and not were “minimal and bizarre.” When attempting to make verbal contact by asking common, normal questions (e.g., “When will I be allowed grounds privileges?”), 71% of psychiatrists and 88% of nurses and attendants moved on with their heads averted, while only 4% and .5%, respectively, sopped and talked with the patient. However, the patients received no shortage of medication, given 2,100 total pills. The results of this study all serve to conclude that in a hospital setting “normal people cannot be distinguished from the mentally ill.” The staff tended to ignore situational pressures on the patients and noticed only the behavior “relevant to the pathological traits assigned to the patients.” Rosenhan also concluded that the directors interpreted the pseudopatient’s innocuous life backgrounds in ways consistent with their diagnosis. Based on this and other subsequent studies, it appears that the “sane” could not be distinguished from the “insane” in mental hospital...

...Promiscuity- A Self-Destructive Behavior in Correlation with a Lack of Paternal Authority: A Single Case Study Rebecca M Bauman 2015 MAR LIB-495-GS001 Abstract Paternal authority, according to the existing literature, is of upmost importance to the healthy psychosexual development of a child. Women who were raised with a lack of paternal authority can often face significant setbacks when dealing with everyday life issues. Promiscuity as a self-destructive behavior has substantial consequences often resulting in mental and physical suffering. This qualitative single case study was designed to explore the correlation of promiscuity- as a self-destructive behavior with women who were raised in single-mother households where there was a lack of paternal authority. A single intrinsic case study was used to explore one woman’s battle with promiscuity. The data obtained formed a narrative generated by the triangulation of psychoanalytical therapy sessions, a client intake form and the woman’s journal. A case analysis was performed and later reviewed by an attending mental health clinician. The results indicated the woman manifests the self-destructive behavior of promiscuity at the expense of poor self-esteem which directly correlates with a lack of paternal authority. The disruption of the woman’s psychosexual development in childhood negatively altered her self-image. The woman uses transference in her intimate relationships as a desperate attempt to gain control of her...
