PSYC 3604 Lecture Notes - Lecture 8: Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation, Dsm-5, The Strongest
Document Summary
Lecture 8: schizophrenia: case study, a 22-year-old unmarried man presents to the clinic with his mother. He spends most of his time in the house and refuses to go out at night alone. He used to live independently and worked until a few months ago. The patient states he made an error on his taxes and is convinced the internal revenue service (irs) hired detectives to gather information about his whereabouts. He states that since his mistake he uncovered an essential flaw in the taxation algorithm, which may expose the underpinning of irs, and is convinced they hired assassins disguised as bikers. After moving in with his mom, he did not see the bikers, but they are trying to trace his. Also, he hears them outside of his house talking about how they will kill him; he reported the problem to the police and fbi and is seeking my help "to defeat the irs".
