ANALYSIS RESPONSE

In this phase of the activity, your task is to review all of your observations, and determine appropriate diagnoses.

In all real-world cases, the client expresses a wide range of symptoms, and as a result, it can be difficult to determine a diagnosis. Keep in mind that there is not necessarily a "correct" answer. The important thing is that you carefully review all of the clinical information and provide a compelling argument about why a particular diagnosis is appropriate.

After answering all of the questions, you can electronically mail your answers to your instructor.


Please provide one or more diagnoses for this case. Please include both the name and the DSM-IV category for your diagnosis(es).


Please describe the observations that support each diagnosis. Be sure to cite evidence (a) from the clinical file, (b) from your on-line research, and (c) from your textbook.


Please describe any clinical evidence that seems to be inconsistent with your diagnosis.
