2) Review the DSM-V and determine a diagnosis for this patient. (Make sure to provide specific examples to support diagnosis.) What are your differential diagnosis and why? (15 points)
a. Main diagnosis: Major depression (DSM-V: depressed mood but for sophie its more irratibaliity being she is a teen, loss of pleasure in her gymanist activities, signicant weight loss, feelings of guilt about ruining darlenes family, recurrent thoughts of death/suicidal ideation,
b. Differential diagnosis: anorexia nervosa (DSM-V: significant low body weight, states her trainer told all the girls that they cannot be fat,)
c. Sophie is projecting her inner thoughts that paul is a “liar” even though she is lying, that she is not “crazy”,

e. Sophie reveals in 4th episode she would starve her self as a child, it would get so bad then just “go away”
f. Same with her pain she would push through it and it would let up, she states its like she did not have a body at all
3) Identify 2 therapeutic techniques utilized by Dr. Weston and provide support. Are the techniques effective? Provide support your answer (20 points)
a. Uses clarification
i. when sophie talks about failing Paul seeks to clarifiy what she said
ii. when sophie states her dad called her while she was in the ambulance he seeks to clarify how he knew that fast making a joke that her dad and sophie have telepathy
iii. when sophie states she got in another fight which was nothing new for her and her mom, paul seeks to clarify that something was different bc sophie left home this time
iv. when sophie was upset she didn’t get to go to camp paul clarifies that sophie doesn’t like karen, Audrey, shirely and that she can’t train anyways so why is it important for which Sophie states it is not important to her but then states she was looking forward to it.
b. Uses active listening

i. Paul pays attention to subtle remarks made by patient and is processing what she says such as “you have to make round window to the outside, then you’ll feel like your in a real ship” (real=possible defense mech or delusion)
ii. When sophie begins to speak a lot about certain topics paul stay silent and actively listens to what she has to say
iii. Paul used active listening skills from his first session by wanting to know why sophie stopped babysitting, sophie got defensive wondering if she told him that before or not, then she talks about how she babysat Dana (cy’s daughter) and how much she liked it while Cy’s wife was in
Wisconsin “processing cheese”, then she states that she “prepared” Dana for her mother to come back so she couldn’t babysit her anymore. Sophie then states “the whole like got mixed up in her head” for which Paul beings to reflect what sophie states about “living there” for which
sophie gets defensive. Paul continues to clarify what she meant for which sophie becomes restless. Paul remains  quiet and sophie becomes angry and defensive asking “what the hell is going on here”
c. Uses silencei. when paul asks about mother patient becomes defensive so he stays quiet which makes the patient speak even more about her mother
ii. when paul asks sophie to tell him a little bit about herself she gets upset, he stays silent which makes sophie talk bout her past
iii. when sophie starts to insult paul, he remains quiet, making sophie talk even more about
iv. when sophie starts talking about the gym and the other gymnists, paul remains quiet and sophie begains to talk about about the other girls that they are ‘groupie sluts” trying to impress Cy, that the girls are bulimic/anorexic, stating that when the girls are about to fall they want Cy to
place his hand between their legs to catch them, (Paul remains silent this whole time for which sophie talks even more)
4) Describe the therapeutic interaction between Dr. Weston and the patient. Does the interaction between Dr. Weston and the patient present as ‘Classic” therapeutic interaction? (15 points)
a. The interaction between dr. Weston and the patient in the beginning episodes seems like something out of a TV drama. The patient is defensive, anxious, smiling/crying, while Weston is observing and trying to fit the role of a psychologist. He makes a TV line statement at the end of the session in regards to professionalism which draws sophie’s attention.
b. The setting in where it takes place is at Dr. westons house which is different from the usual outpatient setting at a clinic.
c. paul kind of plays a father figure in the sense that he has a daughter the same age; he knows that sophie has been sexually abused, he hugs
her and counsels her when she finally opens up about the suicide attempt
d. Patient states she feels sorry for books on top of the book shelf, paul asks why, she states “I don’t know they’re your f******* books buster”,
possibly a metaphor for patient being really good at gymanistics and being lonely being at the top,
e. Paul knows that sophies interaction with the social worker was more of the classic therapist client relationship and that sophie did not like that so he is taking a diff approach
f. Paul doesn’t probe into the suicidie specific questions that a therapist normally would do at signs of suicidality but instead stops bc sophie is upset
g. Paul also does not report the possibility of child abuse, in this case sexual abuse, but instead continues his sessions. This type of interaction is not correct and it is the responsibility of every healthcare professional to report child abuse even if its just a possibility.

h. Patient finds inhaler referencing that paul “could have died without it”. Paul reads report stating she could have died too for which patient states “Yeah that could have solved a lot of problems” for which patient states she was joking.
i. “I can’t treat somebody I don’t love” paul says this to sophie which is not appropriate for a therapist to say to a young girl, especially someone who was sexually abused
5) What style of therapy is Dr. Weston providing for the patient? What other types of therapy might be effective for patient with this diagnosis? (10 points)
a. “some ppl are afraid of theapy, they’re afraid that it might touch these wounds” paul telling sophie this
b. Asks about deep feelings that sophie might want to talk about
c. “your logic as some flaws sophie..you aren’t responsible for what happened in their marriage”; paul stops after this and changes the subject kind of going away from the therapeutic point of her perceieved thoughts and guilt/blame being wrong without delving into this or trying to change this
6) Provide a critique of Dr. Weston therapy style with patient. Does the patient seem to get better or worse? What would you do if this was your patient? (15 points)
a. Sophie really only gets a little better by the 4th episode but does begin to open up more to Dr. Weston about her past, her sexual abuse, her family relationships
7) Scholarly writing/ References Should follow format & citation standards of the APA Publication Manual (6th edition). (10 points)
