Disorders due to general medical conditions, or cognitive disorders, pre-empt all other diagnoses that could produce the same symptoms. Many general medical conditions produce mental symptoms and require urgent evaluation and treatment to prevent serious medical complications. For example, a patient's depression and lethargy could be due to a mood disorder, but is a hypothyroid condition remotely possible? If so, it should be listed first, because hypothyroidism can progress to coma and death. 2. Try to explain all the symptoms with the fewest diagnoses possible. It is best to look for a single illness that explains all of the symptoms. This is called the rule of parsimony. 3. Consider first, the patient's history of other disorders, since they may be related. If a woman with longstanding Alcohol Dependence becomes depressed, this may indicate that she has Alcohol-Induced Mood Disorder with Depressive Features, rather than two independent disorders. 4. Use family history as a guide. Mental disorders run in families. Whether the mode of transmission is environmental or hereditary, the presence of a relative with disorder X suggests that your client may need to be assessed for similar disorders. 5. Try first to identify one or two general categories that the signs and symptoms match. Each major diagnostic area begins with a description of the essential features which must be present in order for that diagnosis to be made. If the symptoms do not match the essential features, you must look elsewhere. 6. Some mental health professionals benefit from use of the decisional trees for differential diagnosis (Appendix A). These are most helpful when there is a medical problem, substance use, mood disorder, anxiety or somatoform disorder. The problem with using the decision tree is that the individual criteria sets must still be used with more than one diagnosis may apply. 7. Collateral information augments history from the patient. Informants often have information or a point of view that can support or contradict information from the client. Adapted from: Morrison, J., (1995) DSM IV made easy. Guilford Press, NY. 4 Multiaxial Evaluation Report Form The following form is offered as one possibility for reporting multiaxial evaluations. In some settings, this form may be used exactly as is; in other settings, the form may be adapted to satisfy special needs.

Do not include impairment in functioning due to physical (or environmental) limitations. Code 100 | 91 (Note: Use intermediate codes when appropriate, e.g., 45, 68, 72.) Superior functioning in a wide range of activities, life’s problems never seem to get out of hand, is sought out by others because of his or her many positive qualities. No symptoms. 90 | 81 Absent or minimal symptoms (e.g., mild anxiety before an exam), good functioning in all areas, interested and involved in a side range of activities, socially effective, generally satisfied with life, no more than everyday problems or concerns (e.g., an occasional argument with family members). 80 | 71 If symptoms are present, they are transient and expectable reactions to psychological stressors (e.g., difficulty concentrating after family argument); no more than slight impairment in social, occupational, or school functioning (e.g., temporarily falling behind in schoolwork). 70 | 61 Some mild symptoms (e.g., depressed mood and mild insomnia) OR some difficulty in social, occupational, or school functioning (e.g., occasional truancy, or theft within the household), but generally functioning pretty well, has some meaningful interpersonal relationships. 60 | 51 Moderate symptoms (e.g., flat affect and circumstantial speech, occasional panic attacks) OR moderate difficulty in social, occupational or school functioning (e.g., few friends, conflicts with peers or co-workers). 50 | 41 Serious symptoms (e.g., suicidal ideation, severe obsessional rituals, frequent shoplifting) OR any serious impairment in social, occupational, or school functioning (e.g., no friends, unable to keep a job). 40 | 31 Some impairment in reality testing or communication (e.g., speech is at times illogical, obscure, or irrelevant) OR major impairment in several areas, such as work or school, family relations, judgment, thinking, or mood (e.g., depressed man avoids friends, neglects family, and is unable to work; child frequently beats up younger children, is defiant at home, and is failing at school). 30 | 21 Behavior is considerably influenced by delusions or hallucinations OR serious impairment in communication or judgment (e.g., sometimes incoherent, acts grossly inappropriately, suicidal preoccupation) OR inability to function in almost all areas (e.g., stays in bed all day; no job, home, or friends). 20 | 11 Some danger of hurting self or others (e.g., suicide attempts without clear expectation of death; frequently violent; manic excitement) OR occasionally fails to maintain minimal personal hygiene (e.g., smears feces) OR gross impairment in communication (e.g., largely incoherent or mute). 10 | 1 Persistent danger of severely hurting self or others (e.g., recurrent violence) OR persistent inability to maintain minimal personal hygiene OR serious suicidal act with clear expectation of death. 0 Inadequate information The rating of overall psychological functioning on a scale of 0-100 was operationalized by Luborsky in the HealthSickness Rating Scale (Luborsky L: “Clinicians; Judgments of Mental Health.” Archives of General Psychiatry 7:407417,1962). Spitzer and colleagues developed a revision of the Health-Sickness Rating Scale called the Global Assessment Scale (GAS) (Endicott J, Spitzer RL, Fleiss JL, Cohen J: “The Global Assessment Scale: A Procedure for Measuring Overall Severity of Psychiatric Disturbance.” Archives of General Psychiatry 33:766-771, 1976). A modified version of the GAS was included in DSM-III-R as the Global Assessment of Functioning (GAF) Scale 6 Examples of How to Record Results of a DSM-IV Multiaxial Evaluation Example 1: Axis I 296.23 Axis II Axis III Axis IV Axis V Major Depressive Disorder, Single Episode, Severe Without Psychotic Features 305.00 Alcohol Abuse 301.6 Dependent Personality Disorder Frequent use of denial None Threat of job loss GAF=35 (current) Example 2: Axis I 300.4 315.00 Axis II V71.09 Axis III 382.9 Axis IV Axis V GAF=53 Dysthymic Disorder Reading Disorder No diagnosis Otitis media, recurrent Victim of child neglect (current) Example 3: Axis I 293.83 Axis II V71.09 Axis III 244.9 365.23 Axis IV Axis V GAF=45 GAF=65 Mood Disorder Due to Hypothyroidism, With Depressive Features No diagnosis, histrionic personality features Hypothyroidism Chronic angle-closure glaucoma None (on admission) (at discharge) Example 4: Axis I V61.1 Axis II V71.09 Axis III Axis IV Axis V GAF=83 Partner Relational Problem No diagnosis None Unemployment (highest level past year) 7 CRITERIA FOR SUBSTANCE DEPENDENCE THREE OR MORE OF THE FOLLOWING IN THE SAME 12 MONTH PERIOD 1) TOLERANCE 2) WITHDRAWAL COMPULSIVE USE DEMONSTRATED BY THE FOLLOWING 3) LARGER AMOUNTS OF DRUG OR LONGER PERIOD OF TIME 4) UNSUCCESSFUL AT CONTROLLING USE 5) TIME SPENT 6) ACTIVITIES GIVEN UP 7) CONTINUED USE DESPITE PROBLEMS SPECIFY IF * WITH PHYSIOLOGICAL DEPENDENCE * WITHOUT PHYSIOLOGICAL DEPENDENCE COURSE SPECIFIERS * EARLY FULL REMISSION * SUSTAINED FULL REMISSION * EARLY PARTIAL REMISSION * SUSTAINED PARTIAL REMISSION * ON AGONIST THERAPY * IN A CONTROLLED ENVIRONMENT 8 CRITERIA FOR SUBSTANCE ABUSE A – ONE OR MORE OF THE FOLLOWING WITHIN A 12 MONTH PERIOD 1) CONTINUED USE RESULTS IN FAILURE TO FULFILL MAJOR ROLE OBLIGATIONS 2) RECURRENT USE OF SUBSTANCE IN HAZARDOUS SITUATIONS 3) RECURRENT USE RESULTING IN LEGAL PROBLEMS 4) CONTINUED USE DESPITE INTERPERSONAL PROBLEMS B – THE PERSON HAS NEVER MET THE CRITERIA FOR SUBSTANCE DEPENDENCE 9 CRITERIA FOR SUBSTANCE INTOXICATION A.

Treatment modalities range from humanistic, rational emotive therapy, behavioral interventions, and education. Group Therapy- Provides opportunities for modeling, feedback, and behavioral rehearsal. Couples or Family Therapy- Appropriate if a stable relationship exists and the partner is willing to participate. Exclude if domestic violence is a factor. Self-Help Groups- Alcoholics Anonymous (AA)- Includes abstinence and the use of the 12 steps. A spiritual emphasis and a relationship with an AA sponsor are central to recovery. Narcotics Anonymous (NA) is available for people in recovery from use of other drugs. AlanonFor family or friends of the individual seeking treatment. Offers guidance for allowing consequences to the use of substances, and support for dealing with recovery issues. Also Alateen and Alatot. Rational Recovery- Based on Rational-emotive therapy and no spiritual emphasis. Intensive Treatment Programs- May include residential treatment, group therapy, individual therapy, education, and self-help. They generally incorporate behavioral change programs, social skills training, relaxation training, and relapse prevention techniques. Medications- Antabuse (disulfiram) for relapse prevention. LEVELS OF CARE- (See also American Society of Addictive Medicine (ASAM) criteria). Medical Hospitalization- Necessary if seizures, delirium, or acute medical problems exist. Inpatient Treatment- Necessary if outpatient has failed, or 24 hour support system is needed. Can be medical facility or social setting unit. Outpatient- Used if client has social support and no physical problems exist. Partial hospitalization or day treatment- Includes use of group and individual treatment to accommodate client’s schedule, usually on a daily basis. Usually less expensive than total hospitalization. Useful if patient has social support and needs to continue working. Outpatient- Usually includes some combination of group or individual treatment but is less intensive than day treatment. Useful if client has good social support and motivated to change. Halfway House- Allows client to live in a supportive environment while continuing to work or attend school. Generally after completion of inpatient treatment is complete. Adapted from: Barlow, D. H., (Eds.). (1993). Clinical Handbook of Psychological Disorders (2nd Ed.). New York: Guilford Press.

THERAPY GUIDELINES – Medication, Family Interventions, and Rehabilitation. 1. Even though Schizophrenia can be a lifelong illness, there are periods of exacerbation and remission. The treatment of the disease requires a long term commitment to the patient. 2. Reserve the right to hospitalize for safety reasons. Most exacerbations can be handled in the outpatient setting. 3. Teach patients how to understand and name psychotic experiences so they can achieve some distance from them and recognize them for what they are. 4. Don’t pressure the patient since this may exacerbate symptoms. Let the patient guide you in setting the pace of his/her treatment. 5. Do not view patients as responsible for their illness. They are however responsible for limiting its impact on their lives. Frame it this way. 6. If they refuse to take medications, find out what the resistance is about rather than forcing them to take it. Explore whether it stems from the medication’s side effects, the psychotic state itself, or from the patient’s personality apart from his psychosis. 7. Show a willingness to compromise and negotiate. Don’t engage in struggles over issues that might produce short-term results but could do harm in the long run. (In other words if you make them take their meds today, and they don’t return, treatment is terminated). 8. Educate the family even if they are ambivalent. 9. Be cautiously optimistic. Encourage the patient to share your belief that the illness isn’t hopeless. MEDICATIONS Antipsychotics – Older drugs (Neuroleptics) NEWER DRUGS (LOW RISK FOR T.D.) Haldol Clozaril Risperdal Thorazine Zyprexa Seroquel Mellaril 17 TREATMENT AND THERAPY FOR SCHIZOPHRENIA 1. Develop a bond of trust, but be aware that this is not the cure. They need acceptance and understanding, not agreement or disagreement. 2. Listen and accept. Do not try to change the patient’s mind. A statement such as “My mind and body are being drained by a ray gun from Pluto,” only requires appreciation of the patient’s feeling that she/he is unable to control parts of his own body that such control is in the hands of external forces. 3. Educate patients. Show them that their symptoms are part of an identifiable mental process in words they can understand. Show them that their thoughts are neither unique nor useful. 4. Teach them to communicate in more acceptable ways. Actions of disrobing, becoming sexually disinhibited, verbally abusive, or threatening violence, all contain a message that can be understood by the patient and counselor. 5. Help them to identify warning signs and stages. Identify their own baseline and know when they have returned to their usual level of functioning. “The voices you hear are called hallucinations. They sound very real to you, yet only your mind can hear them. I’ve had many other people come to me with similar symptoms, and when they take medications it helps them hear only things people can hear just like before you started having these symptoms.” (This establishes expertise and simultaneously educates the patient). 6. Don’t get involved in their control drama. Be aware of your need to control or cure, which when not realized, promotes angry and defensive termination of treatment with the therapist’s rationalization that the “patient is untreatable.” 7. Work with their denial and projection. These two defenses predominate psychotic patients. “I won’t take medication” is resistance and this is what needs to be addressed first. Move in directions where the client is willing to go. 8. Teach the patient to use the nonpsychotic portion of his/her mind to gain a perspective on the illness. “Yes, those seem to be intrusive ideas that are caused by stressful situations and are a part of your illness.” Help them to regain control. 9. Allow for brief consultation, if possible. They may just need to have you help them reframe what is happening to them. “You attempted something new and had a good practice.” Do not frame it as failure. 10. Use group and classroom settings to educate. This will help to alleviate a direct challenge with the patient’s psychotic belief system. Adapted from: Sarti, P. & Cournos, F. (1990).

Depression is something that most people experience at some time in their life. It can be part of a normal, natural reaction to loss, a major life change or a tragedy, in which case it is classified as a “Reactive Depression.” As the grieving process proceeds, over the next few weeks or months the depressed feelings should fade and life should go on, with less and less time spent thinking about the loss and feeling sad about it. Although situation-specific counseling may be helpful in getting through such a period of depression, and while there may be a brief (days or weeks) period of grieving in which normal daily activities are suspended, most reactive depressions resolve themselves within 1 to 3 months and normal functioning returns. In cases where the reactive depression does not resolve “naturally” and within a reasonable period of time, the depression is said to be “chronic” and becomes a cause for concern. Chronic depressed conditions are sometimes associated with certain chemical changes in the brain, specifically with low levels or low sensitivity to certain chemicals, called neurotransmitters, used to transmit nerve impulses. It is a “chicken and egg” problem as to whether the depressed feelings “cause” the chemical changes, or vice versa, and it really does not matter because once a person has chronic depression, the depressed feelings and the chemical changes can both be present. Depression can also be present in the absence of a triggering event, in which case it is called an “Endogenous Depression” because it evolves from within the individual rather than from an external event. Both Reactive and Endogenous Depressions have been successfully treated with several types of interventions. A Psychologist or therapist can best help you determine which of the intervention approaches might benefit you the most. Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy: This approach starts with the assumption that you are depressed because of the way you perceive and think about things, so it retrains you to think and react to events differently. It uses techniques such as thought-stopping, thought substitution, skill building such as assertiveness training, problem-solving and so on. This approach attacks the depression as a set of symptoms and treats the problem at the symptom level. For many people, it is effective and long-lasting. However, it requires concentration and discipline since it is a structured technique, and some depressed people are not able to follow through on the assignments or in the application of the techniques. Dynamic Psychotherapy: This approach looks for the roots of depression in early childhood experiences such as emotional, verbal, physical or sexual abuse, or in the young child’s interpretation and adoption of the parents’ wishes, expectations and values. Through exploring and examining your perceptions of events and relationships from different stages of your life, the therapist helps you to understand how and why you came to perceive things the way you did, and to change your view of yourself and your life. This is what most people think of when they talk about being “in therapy.” Pharmacological Therapy: Medications for depression are abundant and offer the hope that taking a pill will “cure” the depression. Our experience has been that, for a significant number of depressed people, medication can relieve the most severe symptoms of depression, but it rarely does the whole job. Because many people we see have been depressed for a long time, and they have avoided close contact with others, there are a variety of skills (especially interpersonal skills) they may not have learned, and they often need help in sorting out what things mean in their relationships with people at work and in their families. We usually recommend that medication be used while one of the other interventions is in progress. 23 Family Therapy: In cases, the triggering factor in depression is related to the patient’s ongoing relationships within their family or love relationship with a partner. So, to go right to the source and attempt to resolve the interpersonal conflict makes sense. A power struggle between parent and child, alcoholism or drug abuse by a family member, infidelity, rage or anger resulting in abuse, and other behavioral problems can cause and sustain a depressive reaction. By bringing these (often hidden) conflicts out, and developing a strategy to resolve them, the source of the depression can often be eliminated. A study was done in which rats were mildly shocked for several short periods during the day. Some of the rats had levers they could push to shut off the current, and some did not. The rats who could push the levers and shut off the current were essentially normal. The rats who had no levers, but had to endure the shock, developed odd behavior including failure to mate, failure to play in the wheel, reduced food and water consumption, altered waking/sleeping cycles, failure to make nests – in other words they became depressed. We believe that this demonstrates a truism of human depression: Depression is not caused by being in a bad situation – it is caused by being in a bad situation and believing that there is nothing you can do about it! Successful interventions for depression create the belief that, and provide methods whereby, something can be done to positively affect one’s life. Signs and Symptoms of Depression In chronic depression, day-to-day functioning is impaired to a greater or lesser extent: 1) The individual loses interest in formerly important people and/or activities (“anhedonia”) from contact with loved ones or friends; 2) He may obsess or ruminate (have recurring, repetitive thoughts) about loss or about other things; 3) He may experience a sleep disorder which could be characterized by insomnia (difficulty falling asleep), hypersomnia (sleeping much or all of the time), early awakening (waking up during the night and being unable to fall asleep again) or constant fatigue; 4) He may have thoughts of self-harm or of suicide. Suicidality is sometimes assessed by the presence or absence of a specific plan – if a plan has been made, the danger is increased. 5) There may be memory or concentration problems which affect his ability to work or function in school. 6) Depressed individuals are more likely to abuse alcohol or drugs, due to their temporary anti-depressant effects. 7) He may express negative thoughts, feel discouraged, be “grumpy” or irritable, or express the feeling that “things” or people are against him and are keeping him from doing well or achieving his goals. If you or a loved one has some or all of those symptoms, it is important that a professional evaluation for depression be scheduled, as soon as possible. If you are in the Atlanta area, we would be glad to help. If you are not, please contact your family physician, insurance company, or local mental health center for a referral.

The treatment of phobias usually has a behavior therapy focus. In the safety of the therapeutic situation, people with phobias are gradually introduced into the very situation that normally causes them anxiety. They learn that they can control their anxiety while gaining greater and greater exposure to their phobic situation. Cognitive or behavior therapy can be very effective when used in conjunction with relaxation training. Medication is sometimes prescribed for people with phobias to help them control their anxiety. Some people do well on medications such as monoamine, oxidase inhibitors (MAOIs) or imipramine. Also, mild tranquilizers, like benzodiazepines, can be effective in helping people control the anxiety caused by their phobia. What happens to someone with a phobia? The course of a phobia may be quite varied. Some people have mild phobias which can be easily treated and which last only a short time. Others have severe anxieties, and they suffer from their phobias for many years. Chronic phobias can cause major disruptions in school, at work, and/or with personal relationships. What can people do if they need help? If you, a friend, or a family member would like more information and you have a therapist or a physician, please discuss your concerns with that person.

SPECIFY: GENERALIZED: if it happens in most social situations. 33 TREATMENT - SOCIAL PHOBIAS What Treatments Are Available for Social Phobia? Research supported by NIMH and by industry has shown that there are two effective forms of treatment available for social phobia: certain medications and a specific form of short-term psychotherapy called cognitive-behavioral therapy. Medications include antidepressants such as selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SSRIs) and monoamine oxidase inhibitors (MAOIs), as well as drugs known as high-potency benzodiazepenes. Some people with a form of social phobia called performance phobia have been helped by beta-blockers, which are more commonly used to control high blood pressure. Cognitive-behavior therapy is also very useful in treating social phobia. The central component of this treatment is exposure therapy, which involves helping patients gradually become more comfortable with situations that frighten them. The exposure process often involves three stages. The first involves introducing people to the feared situation. The second level is to increase the risk of disapproval in that situation so people build confidence that they can handle rejection or criticism. The third stage involves teaching people techniques to cope with disapproval. In this stage, people imagine their worst fear and are encouraged to develop constructive responses to their fear and perceived disapproval. Cognitive-behavior therapy for social phobia also includes anxiety management training - for example, teaching people techniques such as deep breathing to control their levels of anxiety. Another important aspect of treatment is called cognitive restructuring, which involves helping individuals identify their misjudgments and develop more realistic expectations of the likelihood of danger in social situations. Supportive therapy such as group therapy, or couples or family therapy to educate significant others about the disorder, is also helpful. Sometimes people with social phobia also benefit from social skills training. What Other Illnesses Co-Occur With Social Phobia? Social phobia can cause lowered self-esteem and depression. To try to reduce their anxiety and alleviate depression, people with social phobia may use alcohol or other drugs, which can lead to addiction. Some people with social phobia may also have other anxiety disorders, such as panic disorder and obsessive-compulsive disorder.

Internal Fear Cues - Gather specific information about images, impulses, or abstract thoughts that the individual finds disturbing, shameful, or disgusting. Feared Consequences - Identify fears about something terrible happening if they fail to perform their ritual. Strength of Belief - Insight: Do they know the obsession is irrational? Treatment 1. In Vivo or imaginal exposure - gradual presentation of stimuli. 2. Response prevention - Be specific with rules for response prevention For Example - Washing 1. Do not exceed one 10 minute shower daily. 2. Do not exceed 5 hand washings per day, 30 seconds each. 3. Restrict hand washing to when hands are visibly dirty and sticky. 4. Expose yourself deliberately to object that illicit the response 2x a week. 3. Cognitive Restructuring - See Ellis, or Meichenbaum 4.

Treatment 1. Stress Inoculation Training- Identify at least 2 coping skills, demonstrate, practice in session, apply to situation, evaluate effectiveness. Muscle Relaxation – Jacobsonian tension-relaxation method is used for most frequently. Relax all major muscle groups in session and provide tape for home practice. Breath Control – Diaphragmatic breathing Covert Modeling – Visualize fear and imagine successful confrontation of fear. Role Play – Client and therapist act out successful assertiveness skills 1. Prolonged Exposure – (Specific to rape-related PTSD) Incorporates new information that is incompatible with the current fear structure, so that new memories are formed. Recall and talk about assault in detail until it is no longer intensely painful. (May tape it and listen at home, Desensitization) This is combined with exposure to feared but safe stimuli. 2. Cognitive Processing Therapy (CPT) – combines exposure based therapies that are most likely to have been disrupted as a result of trauma. Recall and think about the event in detail, may write about it including sensory memories. May read in session, help label feelings, and identify stuck points. Provide new information that is incompatible with the current fear structure in order for new memory to be provided. 3. Rational Emotive Behavioral Therapy (See Ellis & Meichenbaum) 4. Group Therapy – Clients with severe PTSD should be in individual therapy simultaneously with group treatment. Always screen for appropriate placement.

Time Management – To deal with perfectionist attitudes Delegating responsibility – Assertiveness Training – Role Playing Adhering to agendas – daily goal setting so that important activities are completed. Problem Solving – Teach client to conceptualize problems in specific terms and to break the problem into smaller, more manageable segments. Brainstorm possible solutions to gether. 4.

The treatment for dissociative amnesia is therapy aimed at helping the client/patient restore lost memories as soon as possible. If a person is not able to recall the memories, hypnosis or a medication called Pentothal (thiopental) can sometimes help to restore the memories. Psychotherapy can help an individual deal with the trauma associated with the recalled memories. Hypnosis is often used in the treatment of dissociative fugue. Hypnosis can help the client/patient recall his/her true identity and remember the events of the past. Psychotherapy is helpful for the person who has traumatic, past events to resolve. Treatment for dissociative identity disorder involves long-term psychotherapy that helps the person merge his/her multiple personalities into one. The trauma of the past has to be explored and resolved with proper emotional expression. Hospitalization may be required if behavior becomes bizarre or destructive. Treatment for depersonalization disorder is very difficult. However, the condition can improve with a thorough therapeutic exploration of the trauma in the individual’s past and the expression of the emotions associated with that trauma. What happens to people with dissociative disorders? Dissociative amnesia: The length of an event of dissociative amnesia may be as short as a few minutes or as long as several years. If the episode is associated with a traumatic event, the amnesia may clear when the individual is removed from the traumatic situation. Dissociative fugue: Once dissociative fugue is discovered and treated, many people recover quickly. The problem may never occur again. Dissociative identity disorder: The course of dissociative identity disorder tends to recur over several years. It may become less of a problem, however, after mid-life. Depersonalization disorder: An episode of depersonalization disorder can be as brief as a few seconds or continue for several years. What can people do if they need help?

Simmons SIU Counseling Center 6/27/89 70 NORMAL EATING “I submit that the normal eating pattern for women is a different pattern. Consider the following women, each of whose example contains a strategy for both denial of appetite and manipulation of appearance.” 1) Susan keeps a list of every calorie she eats, and exercises every day. If she goes over her allotted calories, she is unhappy and berates herself. She immediately worries about how much weight she has gained from the one transgression, but never weighs herself. Susan, in her mid-thirties and a professor at a major university, is in many ways extremely competent and effective woman. 2) Jane has a different strategy. She eats nothing until 5:00 p.m. At that time, she allows herself to eat a large meal. She maintains her average weight this way. Jane is a woman in her mid-fifties who has raised a family, worked in a paraprofessional capacity, and has now returned to school for an advanced degree. She is a talented artist. 3) Andrea has yet another strategy. She allows herself a different food each day, something she is really craving. To maintain control, she eats only that one food for that day. Sometimes she loses control and eats too much. Then she feels guilty. She also feels too fat unless she is about ten pounds below her ideal healthy weight. She feels that the extra weight, which settles on her hip and thigh areas, is like a burden that she carries around and is not really part of her. She hates it and wishes it would go away, but often does not have the will power to deny herself food. 4) Diane has recently completed a commercial diet program, in which she lost twenty pounds. Her lover often complained of her excess weight in the stomach and hip areas and let her know that he was attracted to slim, young women. After Diane lost the weight, he left her for one of these women. Diane is in her late forties, as is her former lover. His new partner is nineteen. Diane struggles to maintain her new weight, has bought a new wardrobe of stylish clothes, and is actively dating. She feels much more attractive and desirable than she did with the “extra” twenty pounds. She hopes to be able to compete for men and find a new man. 5) Theresa, in her late twenties, has a thin and shapely figure that is often admired by others. She wears form-fitting clothes and bikinis in the summer to show off. However, she feel that her breasts sag and, although this is not apparent when she is clothed, it bothers her enough that she is considering plastics surgery to “correct” the problem. Her husband supports this plan, although he does not comment on her “defect”. 71 DYSSOMNIAS 307.42 PRIMARY INSOMNIA – Problems initiating or maintaining sleep for at least 1 month. 307.44 PRIMARY HYPERSOMNIA – Excessive sleepiness for at least 1 month. 347 NARCOLESPY – Attacks of sleep that occur every day for at least 3 months + One or both of the following – 1.

Behavior therapy and the use of medications have been shown to be effective treatments for ADHD. The use of stimulant medications such as Cylert (pemoline), Dexedrine (dextroamphetamine), or Ritalin (methylphenidate) have become the treatment of choice throughout much of the country. If the person with ADHD is a child, behavior therapy involving the child and his/her parents is frequently helpful. Behavior therapy can be conducted alone or can be combined with medication therapy. The therapist’s consultation with the child’s teacher(s) is a very important element of the treatment. What happens to someone with attention-deficit/hyperactive disorder? Children with ADHD often continue to show symptoms of inattention and impulsivity into their adolescence and early adulthood. Children and adolescents with ADHD frequently struggle with low self-esteem. What can people do if they need help? If you, a friend, or a family member would like more information and you have a therapist or a physician, please discuss your concerns with that person. _____________________________________________________ Developed by John L.

J: Jason Aronson Inc. 83 THE MINI-MENTAL STATE EXAMINATION Adapted from M.F. Folstein and colleagues (1975). ORIENTATION A. (5 points) What is the (year) (season) (date) (day of the week) (month)? B. (5 points) Where are we (country) (state) (city or town) (hospital) (floor of the building)? REGISTRATION C. (3 points) The examiner names three unrelated objects, taking one second to say each. The client is asked to repeat all three objects after the examiner has said them. Give one point for each correct answer. Repeat the objects until the client learns all three. Record the number of trials. ATTENTION AND CALCULATION D. (5 points) Serials 7’s. One point for each correct answer. Stop after five answers. Alternatively, have the patient spell the word “WORLD’ backwards, giving one point for each correct letter. RECALL E. (3 points) Ask the client to recall the three objects learned in item C. LANGUAGE F. (2 points) The client is shown a pencil and a watch and is asked to name each one. G. (1 point) Ask the client to repeat, “No ifs, ands, or buts.” Listen for dysarthria. (Difficulty in speech production related to anatomical or coordination deficit). H. (3 points) The client is handed a sheet of paper and given a three-stage command: “Take this paper in your right hand, fold it in half, and put it on the floor.” I. (1 point) Show the client a sign which reads “Close your eyes,” and ask the client to follow the command. J. (1 point) Ask the client to write a sentence. 84 VISUAL-MOTOR INTEGRITY K. (1 Point) The client is asked to copy a Bender-Gestalt figure. INTERPRETATION: Scores range from 0 to 30. According to Folstein, a score of less than or equal to 23 points in a person with at least nine years of education is evidence of cognitive impairment. False positive results often occur in persons with fewer than nine years of education.
