THIS IS THE CASE STUDY

SOWK 7371 – Case Study Jonathan Jonathan is a 24-year-old US Army veteran who attends community college. He presented at the emergency room (ER) with his girlfriend and sister. Upon evaluation, the LCSW noted that he is tall, slim, and well-groomed with glasses. He speaks softly, with an increased latency of speech. His affect is blunted except when he becomes anxious while discussing his symptoms. Jonathan stated that he came to the ER at his sister’s request. He has had a migraine for the past several days, which feels like “sharp, shooting” sensations in various bilateral locations in his head. He also describes a “ringing” sensation” along the midline of his brain that seems to worsen when he thinks about his vices. For the last 2½ months he’s been experiencing “hallucinations of a spiritual nature.” Jonathan identified his vices as being “alcohol, cigarettes, disrespecting my parents, girls.” He denied guilt, anxiety, or preoccupation about any of his military duties during his tour in Iraq, but he had joined an evangelical church 4 months earlier in the context of being “riddled with guilt” about “all the things I’ve done.” Three months earlier, he began “hearing voices trying to make me feel guilty” most days. The last auditory hallucination was two days ago. During the last few months, he began noticing that strangers are commenting on his past sins. Jonathan believes that his migraines and guilt might be due to alcohol withdrawal. He had been drinking three or four cans of beer most days of the week for several years until he “quit” 4 months earlier after joining the church. He still drank “a beer or two” every other week but felt guilty afterward. He denied any alcohol withdrawal symptoms such as tremors and sweats. He smoked cannabis up to twice monthly for years but quit completely when he joined the church. He denied using other illicit drugs except for one uneventful use of cocaine 3 years earlier. He sleeps well except on occasional nights when he could only sleep a few hours because he had to finish an academic assignment. Jonathan denied depressive, manic, or psychotic symptoms and violent ideation. He denied post-traumatic stress disorder symptoms. Regarding stressors, he felt overwhelmed by his current responsibilities, which includes attending school and almost every day church activities. He was a straight A student at the start of the school year but he is now receiving Bs and Cs. In separate interviews, Jonathan’s sister and girlfriend both stated that Jonathon had been increasingly isolating himself and quiet. Previously, he used to be fun and outgoing. He also had never been especially religious. His sister believes that the church he has become involved with is “brain washing” him. His girlfriend however said that when she attended a church service with Jonathon, some of the congregation members told her they have occasionally talked to new members who felt guilt over their prior behaviors, but no one who had ever hallucinated before. They expressed that they were all worried about him.

SOWK 7371 Individual Case Study Purpose The Individual Case Study will help you prepare as a future clinician and help assess your ability to analyze a case study on your own. This activity is a Diagnostic Case Conceptualization assignment, you will select a case vignettes below and write-up the correct diagnosis. Like with previous case study activities, the correct diagnoses will be found within the Schizophrenia Spectrum and other Psychotic Disorders section of DSM-5. Remember, that as graduate students and future clinicians, it is imperative that you are well versed in evidenced-based treatments and ways of understanding how to work within a diverse world. Instructions For your individual case study, you will write and 3- 5 page paper in APA format on a Case Study Vignette of your choice. You will select a case from the options provided in the Assignments and Rubrics area and also listed in the specific WK6 Assignment – Individual Case Study. Read the specific directions on how to approach the vignette below: 1. Read the Case Study Vignette carefully, organizing the symptoms and other relevant factors. 2. Review and apply your material, along with outside resources from your own research, for this week to complete this assignment. 3. Identify and correctly code the most comprehensive diagnosis that accounts for the unique client presentation. 4. Succinctly and completely justify the diagnosis by linking symptoms with the specific diagnostic criteria they satisfy. 5. Provide two diagnoses you considered but ruled out. Remember to be very succinct on this section. Only identify the main symptom(s)/criterion that helped you rule out these diagnoses. After you have formally coded the diagnosis and thoroughly justified that diagnosis, your team will now: 6. Create a formal treatment plan with at least 1 long-term goal and 3 short-term goals (Remember, goals need to be SMART: Smart, Measurable, Attainable, Realistic, and Timely). Remember, with the formal treatment plan to be succinct. a. After writing the formal treatment plan, explain the rationale for the evidenced-based treatments and interventions that can alleviate the symptom severity and or treat the client. Make sure that you support your claims with evidence. 7. Discuss this diagnosis and treatment approach from a biopsychosocial model, which will require you to: a. Discuss the role biology plays with individuals who meet full criteria for your assigned diagnosis. Things to consider include, physical influences/symptoms, medication considerations examining their role and side effects, etc. b. The emotional and mental impact on the individual assigned the diagnosis c. What are the social impacts of the assigned diagnosis?
