Editor's Notes
- Kemoni Jenkins is a depressed young man. He presently uses marijuana on a daily basis just like his mother and stepfather. He has fallen out with his father having ending their relationship in a fight. He left his father’s house two years ago to come live with his mother. The decision to undergo counseling was the mother’s as she sought to prevent the son from going down her road. His mother identified this need amid the constant fights, quarrels, constant lying, theft and defying authority. This is also fuelled by the serious conflict that he has with the parents, his peers and teachers often leading to losses and property destruction. His mother feels the need to attend counseling sessions primarily to help him handle some of his problems including his anger issues, constant loud and violent outbursts, behavior management and depression. The young man presents a problem to the psychiatrist at first resulting from his uncooperativeness. He chooses not to answer the psychiatrist during question time to assess the immediate need of the client. He has a slight body odor and tattered clothing depicting heavy influence of drugs. He can barely concentrate during the psychiatric exam and keeps fidgeting all the time. He goes to an extent of standing up and moving around touching anything in his path. He also has strange injury marks on his arms and legs that may have resulted from the constant fighting and conflict.
- The fact that the client is completely unwilling to listen and even interact with the psychiatrist gives him away as having a personality disorder. He is keen on correcting his stepfather on mistakes that he commits himself every now and then. He is compulsive requiring that his peers bow before him. In addition to this, the client’s behavior shows signs of being an obsessive personality problem. This is due to his constant desire to be organized and correct others around him. Obsessive-compulsive disorder is inherent in the individual depicted from the way he wants things done his way. Diagnosis as Per the DSM-IV System Axis 1 – Anxiety Disorder Depression This axis depicts the mental conditions of the patient as per clinical tests. The client suffers from both an anxiety problem and later depression. His anxiety disorder comes with the need to see everything working his way. Depression soon follows with things not working the way he would wish to have them work. The divorce proceedings between the mother and the father, poverty and his constant quarrel with his father could be the reason for his depression. Axis 2 – Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder This axis relates in a way to the first. Obsessive-compulsive disorder is a serious medical condition where individuals force everything into their own terms and conditions. This axis relates to personality disorders almost similar to the axis one. Axis 3 – none Axis 4 – Relationship Issues This axis assesses the behavioral attitudes of the client. The client has a bad relationship with his parents, teachers and peer. He only maintains one good relationship with his grandmother who gives him twenty dollars every weekend. These present the psychological issues that may have forced the client to behave in that manner. Axis 5 - Functional This is an assessment used by counselors to rate individuals. Despite the bad behavior that the client displays to the world, he is a normal human being. He displays such behavior as a form of behavioral adaptation mechanism. He uses it to cushion from the constant attacks from family, teachers and other young students.
- A behavioral approach to the understanding and diagnosis of Jenkins condition is the most appropriate method to acquire information (Robert et al 2009). Since this method is not entirely conclusive, the psychiatrist integrated a combined cognitive and behavioral approach to his study. This combination brought about a cognitive behavioral approach (Richard 2010) that studies both the mental patterns as well as the behavior of the individual at certain intervals. This is a wholesome method where the client is able to understand how his brain affects his behavior and in turn affecting his relations with other members of the society. The ultimate goal of this study is to find out exactly what psychological issues face this young man, how to solve them and how to teach him to avoid a recurrence of such events. The short-term goals in this case will be for the client to apply reality therapy involving a series of daily activities. These activities will be meant to help the client be responsible for his actions as well as his reactions towards other people.
- First, the client will be issued with a mandatory test that determines to a greater extent the diagnosis done. This will be a test to either confirm or deny the results acquired from the previous diagnosis. The client will have a scheduled Wednesday evening group therapy session in which he is to attend without fail. He is also going to be scheduled to attend a Saturday morning individual counseling session. The different sessions enable the client to learn different things. The Wednesday session for instance give the client an opportunity to interact with people who have successfully gone through the program. The Saturday session gives the client an opportunity to talk on a one-on-one basis with the counselor to identify areas of weaknesses and successes achieved through the week. A combination of both reality therapy and group therapy will be used in these sessions meant to last a total of twelve weeks. This is important since it allows the clients to interact with different kinds of people and develop a positive attitude towards them. This can then be replicated in their daily activities be it in school or at home. Of major interest in the sessions is the education on the effects of drug and substance abuse and how one can desist from using them and changing his life for the better. Finally, a retest is done at the end of the twelve weeks to assess how much the behavior of the client has changed over that period. This test will seek to identify among other things behavior change, knowledge acquired and attitude change. This is meant to give a positive result failure to which the sessions would have been fruitless and unsuccessful.
