also indicated that Jasmine was not “very pleased” about
coming to the mental

Initial Interview

2. When you meet Jasmine in the lobby, she is initially unwilling
to come to your
office. After some persuasion from her mother, she agrees only
if her mother
accompanies her. Jasmine appears uncomfortable once you
have settled down in
your office. She presents with very little facial expression and
does not make eye
contact with you.
“What brings you to my office for an appointment today?” you
begin.
After an uncomfortable pause, with Jasmine looking at the
floor, her mother
replies. “This appointment was really my idea. Jasmine started
classes at the
university in the fall. Things seemed to be going well at first,
but by October she
was asking to come home. At first, I just thought she was
having some roommate
problems.”

3. Jasmine interrupts her mother at that point. “It was Christy!
Everyone on the floor
of the dorm was in on it! Probably more than that!”
“Jasmine, can you tell me more about what was going on?” you
ask. Once again
after a long pause with no facial expression from Jasmine, Mrs.
Mack continues.
“Well, then she stopped calling me, and we thought things
might be getting better.
But she didn’t call at all, and when we’d try to call her, she was
never in. I was
really worried but my husband, Joseph, told me we had to let
her find her own
way. She did come home for Thanksgiving but hardly talked
with us at all. Then,
the semester was over and she failed almost all of her classes.
When we tried to
talk to her about it, she’d just get angry and stop speaking to
us.” Mrs. Mack
becomes tearful at this point.
Jasmine sighs deeply and turns away from both you and her

4. mother. You again try
to engage her. “Jasmine, would you like to tell me what
happened with your
classes?”
“School isn’t the point, you know. My room was the center of it
all and everyone
was involved. They tried to confuse me in those classes. It
wasn’t safe, I had to
stop going,” she says.
Mrs. Mack stated: “We didn’t know any of this. She wouldn’t
tell us anything.
Joseph and I finally thought she was embarrassed and just
needed another chance.
He had trouble his first semester in college, too. So we just told
her we loved her
and sent her back to school for the spring semester. In less than
a week, we got a
call from the resident assistant in her dorm. She said she
thought Jasmine was
having trouble and needed help.”
“That’s not true!” Jasmine interrupts again. “She was in on it

5. too. They were all
trying to get me to leave because I was starting to understand
what they were all up
to.”
“Jasmine, will you tell me what they were up to?” you ask.
“They set up a communication system in my room. They had
cameras everywhere.
I mean everywhere. I couldn’t do anything without them
watching. Then they got
the voice machine going!” Jasmine is shaking her head and
speaking in monotone.
“Did you hear voices, Jasmine?” you inquire.
“Yes, from the machine. All these different voices saying stupid
things and mean
things. I couldn’t keep anything straight anymore. I couldn’t
pay attention to
anything. Finally, I couldn’t do anything. I just stayed in my
room…just let them
look. Then I came home,” she says.

6. “Have things gotten better since you came home?” you ask.
“No, not really. It was better for a few days, but they started
setting up the network
at my parents’ house”
Jasmine starts holding herself and rocking quietly. Mrs. Mack is
looking more and
more alarmed. You decide that you can talk with them
separately now that Jasmine
is interacting with you.
“Okay, Jasmine. It sounds like you’ve been having some really
frightening
experiences. I want to try to help you, but I need to ask you a
lot of questions so I
can figure out the best wat to help. Is that going to be all right
with you?” you ask.
“I guess so. I just don’t know what to do,” she responds.
“Okay, do you have any idea why these people would do these

7. things to you?”you
ask.
“I’ve thought about it a lot. I think they wanted to be like me.
I’ve done really well
in school. They wanted to understand how I did that and
duplicate it. I would have
told them. They didn’t need to say bad things about me.” She
begins to rock gently
again.
“Mrs. Mack, I’d like to talk more to Jasmine alone. Would you
mind waiting in the
lobby for a while? I’ll talk with you when we’re through” you
say.
“Okay,” she responds and leaves the room.
“Jasmine, did anything like this ever happen to you before you
left for college?”
you ask.
“What do you mean?”

8. “Things like hearing voices, or having people working against
you?” you clarify.
“No. and it didn’t start until a little more than 6 months ago,”
she answers.
“Okay, Jasmine, just one more question for right now. Did you
see any doctors or
counselors while you were at school?” you ask.
“No” she answers.
“Would you be willing to talk with a doctor if I could arrange
it?”
“I guess so if it’s okay with my mother,” she responds.
“Great, Jasmine. Why don’t you stay here while I check in with
your mother and
try to set up an appointment with our doctor? Is that okay with
you?” you ask.
“I guess so” she replies.
