Question
Here is the case study:en is the oldest child in a sib-ship of three. His father had frequent bouts of psychotic behavior while Ben was growing up. He often witnessed intense angry outbursts from his father that seemed to come out of nowhere. Throughout his childhood, his mother emphasized that he must be careful about making mistakes and impressed upon him that he was different from other people. In high school he was noted to be a troublemaker and often got into physical altercations with other students. His frequent defense was that they were “ganging up on me.” He did very well academically and believed he was intellectually superior to his teachers. He was once under investigation by the local police because his neighbor reported that he continuously let her dog out of the fenced yard as he constantly complained that she let it out to specifically bark and annoy him. He never held a job very long although he did earn several advanced degrees. He was once fired because after being passed up for a promotion he verbally attacked his co-worker, who was promoted, accusing him of stealing his ideas. Ben avoids crowds and social events. He attributes this to his mistrust of people and feeling as though he always has to watch his back. He was married once which ended quickly in divorce after he constantly accused his wife of cheating even though he sought ways to be with her almost 24 hours a day. He has only one close friend who describes Ben as “tense and ready to pounce at the smallest perceived slight.” He indicates they get along well as long as they do what Ben wants and on his terms.

Explanation / Answer
I have gone through this case and from a psychologist point of view I can say that apart from the psychotic problems got transfered to him through genes he had suffered with cyclothymia in his early childhood and lack of treatments and proper diagnosis leads him to other psychological disorders which cant be said before the patient got diagnosed. Even if the other disorders were not there can be assumed, then surely atleast this can be said that his childhood disease is not in average level and the degree got increased over time upto the maximum limit. Treatments in this cases are not only the counselling but it requires the help of medication to take care of the anger management and then only the counselling therapies would work. Minimum 6 months to one year of counselling sessions are required and the interval sessions depends on the degree of recovery from the severe depressive moods once he started to accept the counselling after a certain medication of anger management . In between the treatments outbursts are quite common but the counsellor should notify the interval gap between the outbursts, and if the time gap increases then it is a good symbol to understand that the patient is on the way to recovery.
